CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT<br />
<strong>Th</strong>e main metering jet in the carburetor is ot the fixed<br />
type and therefore no adjustment is necessary.<br />
<strong>Th</strong>e correct amount of throttle plate opening for the<br />
proper low idle speed is obtained by means of the<br />
tbrcttle stop screw. However, this is set at the factory<br />
so that no immediate adjustment is necessary. <strong>Th</strong>e<br />
idle adjustment is for smooth low speed .operation and<br />
this adjustment, if necessary, must be made with the<br />
carburetor throttle lever dosed.<br />
For further information, refer to Carburetor Service Instructions in<br />
this manual.<br />
MAGNETO IGNITION<br />
MAGNETO IGNITION SPARK (Fig. 9)<br />
If difficulty is experienced in starting ~,he engine or<br />
if engine misses firing, the strength of the ignition<br />
spark can be tested as follows: Remove the ignition<br />
cable from the No. 1 spark plug and wedge a piece of<br />
stiff bare wire up into the terminal boot with one end<br />
of the wire extending out. With the extended wire held<br />
about 1/8 inch away from the cylinder head shroud,<br />
turn the engine over slowly by the start!ing crank and<br />
watch for the spark discharge, which should occur<br />
during the cranking cycle, at the instant the impulse<br />
coupling on the magneto snaps. Repeat this check<br />
with the other ignition cable. If there is a weak spark,<br />
or none at all, check breaker point opening as described in "Magneto<br />
Breaker Point Adjustment". If this does not remedy the trouble, it<br />
may be necessary to install a new condenser. See Magneto Service<br />
Instructions in this manual.<br />
MAGNETO BREAKER POINT ADJUSTMENT<br />
(Fig’s. 10, 11)<br />
<strong>Th</strong>e magneto breaker point gap is .015 inch at full<br />
separation. If the ignition spark becomes weak after<br />
continued operation, the breaker points may have to<br />
be readjusted, resurfaced or replaced. Remove the<br />
magneto end cover and take off rotor in order to examine<br />
the points. If there is evidence of pyramiding or<br />
pitting, the points should be resurfaced with a small<br />
tungsten file.<br />
Points that are badly worn or pitted should be replaced.<br />
Checkbreaker point gap by rotating the<br />
crankshaft with the starting crank, (this also rotates<br />
the magneto), until the breaker points are wide open.<br />
<strong>Th</strong>e opening or gap should then be measured with a<br />
feeler gauge as shown.<br />
Adjust breaker points as follows: First loosen the<br />
two Iockin¢l screws on the contact plate enough so<br />
