3. Adjusting the Ignition Timing
The DT2MX
uses
the flywheel magneto
for
ignition, while the
RT2MX employs the C.D.I.
DT2MX (Magneto ignition)
1.
Remove
the spark plug, and i nstal I a dial
gauge
in the
spark
plug
hole.
2.
Turn the crankshaft
to
the left and locate TDC.
(When
the dial
gauge
pointer begins
to
turn
in reverse, the piston
is
at about TDC.)
3.
When
TDC
is
located, turn the dial and
set
"O"
to
the pointer.
4.
Connect the contact breaker
to
the
red
lead
wire
of
the point
checker,
and
ground the other
to
the frame.
5.
Turn
"ON"
the
swi1.ch
of
point checker,
and
make
sure
that the
needle points to "OPEN".
6. Turn the crankshaft to the right.
When
the dial
gauge
pointer in-
dicates 2.3 mm before TDC, watch the
point
checker needle.
If
it
moves
from
OPEN
to
CLOSE, the ignition
timing
is
considered
to
be
correct.
7.
Adjustment
can
be
made
by moving the contact breaker.
Note: Before adjusting the ignition timing, check the breaker point
surfaces.
If
points
are
roughened,
or
not
in full contact, smooth
them
out
with
:it
600 sandpaper, and then adjust
so
that they
are
in
f ul I contact
with
each
other.
