7. If the t i ming is incorrect, looseil the stator
pla te screws through ho les in the fl ywheel,
and reposition the stator plate as req ui red
(clockwise to retard timing - counterclockw ise
to advance t iming) to correct the timing. (See
Figure
2-53.)
When adjusting the stator plate, take care
not to damage the coil windings.
8. Tighten the stator plate screws and recheck
tim in g.
9. When the ig nit ion timing is correct, remove the
timing light and replace the recoil starter.

Alternate Method of Timing
Adjustment
1. Remove the dr ive belt and install a fabricated
pointer onto the engine as show n. (See F ig ure
2-54 .) For accuracy, it is im portant to attac h
the po i nter to the eng in e ra th er than the
chassis so the poin te r can move w ith the
engine on its mounting system.
2. Remove the spark plug from the RH cyli nder
and install a dial indicator in to th e RH cylinder
spark p lug hole.
3. Rotate the
dr ive converter in the n ormal
direction of rotation (count erclockwise) to fi nd
TOC. Rotate the drive converter cl ockwise to
0.073 in . (1.86 mm) b efore TOC . Mark the drive
converter opposite the timing pointer. (See Fig-
ure 2-54 .)

4. Remove
the dial indicator, and reinsta ll the
spark plug.
5. Wi th the converter guard secured in place, run
the engine at 6,500 RPM. Direct the timing
light th rough the opening in the converter
guard d ir ectly over the timing pointer. The
timing is co
rr ect when the mark on the con-
verter ali gns wi th the pointer as the timing
li ght flashes. (See F ig ure 2-55.)
