4.10 Setting Air Gap
See Graphic: wc_gr002885
Newer engines use guide sleeve pins to automatically set the air gap;
however, older models still require the proper air gap to be set
manually. If the air gap is set incorrectly, the engine may be hard to
start or it may run erratically. Check the air gap (a) with a feeler gauge
and if the gap is not set at 0.4 mm (0.013–0.016 in.) the air gap needs
to be reset.
To set the air gap:
4.10.1 Loosen the three screws (b) holding the ignition module (c) to the
crankcase.
4.10.2 Rotate the flywheel until the magnet (d) is positioned directly under the
module.
4.10.3 Insert a feeler gauge between the module and the flywheel and move
the module until the correct gap is set. Torque the screws to 3.5 Nm
(2.5 ft.lbs.).
NOTICE: Do not overtighten the screws on the module or the threads
in the engine housing may be damaged.
