COIL CONNECTION
Unplug the electrical connections fron the coil carefully
noting the position of the two electrical eonnections A and B
as they must be reconnected in the exact same position.
·Place the ohmmeter leads ori tenninals A and B as shown.
A to B ·1.5 ohm
Place the leads between A and the high tension coil HT
connection.
A to HT • 25.0-27.0 kfl
Place the leads between B and the high tension coil HT
connection.
B to HT • ·25.0 • 27.0 kfi
ADJUSTING THE PICK·UP GAP
\
Adjust the point gap of the pick-up assembly between the
rotor and the pick-up.
Standard Gap: 0.014-0.016 inches
(0.35 - 0.40 mm)
Instructions
NOTE: An analog type
meter must be used
when making this test.
SWITCH THE OHMMETER LEADS
BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN
TERMINALS SG ANO C ANO
READ THE VAlUES
Unplug the two connectors at the distribution plug. Take
care to note the two seperate connections, they must be
~onnected in the exact same position. Place your
ohnuneter leads on the terminals SG and C as shown
and read the meter. Then reverSe the ohmmeter leads and
again read the meter.
In one direction, the ohm reading will be 100 ohms g.r less.
In the other direction, there should be no ohm reading. Any
value above 100 ohms indicates a faulty igniter. Any ohm
value found with the meter conections in either direction, the
igniter is faulty.
TESTING THE PICK·UP COIL
STANDARD RESisTANCE VALUE: A2, ·.54• K.n
Check that when a screwdriver is passed near the iron core of
the pick-up assembly, the needle of the tester deflects.
