Timing idler gear
Use a magnetic base dial gauge to check for correct tooth ba-
cklash between idler, engine gear and timing gear.
This backlash should not exceed 0.10 mm; otherwise the idler
gear should be replaced by another one having the same thi-
ckness as the tooth located on the different pitch diameter, so that
a correct tooth backlash may be established.
Identification among gears is provided with marks of different
colours (either RED or YELLOW or GREEN) as illustrated in figure
11.
To each colour corresponds a well-defined tooth thickness value.
