W/O Direct Ignition Adapter

Fig. 16 Inductive Loop:

1. Connect the inductive pick-up lead of a timing light to the trigger wire as shown and determine if the timing light being used will operate properly.
Note: Generally a timing light without a timing advance feature will work properly.
If there is ANY doubt about the reliability of timing light operation proceed to step #2.
If there is NO doubt about the reliability of timing light operation proceed to step #8.

Fig. 23 Air Duct:

2. Remove the left intake air duct.

Fig. 24 Harness Connector Bracket:

3. Remove the left harness bracket.

Fig. 25 Ornamental Cover:

4. Remove the left ornamental cover.

Fig. 19 Timing Light Connection (W/O S.S.T.):

5. Remove #1 ignition coil (L.F.) .

Fig. 58 Special High Tension Wire:

6. Retro-fit a suitable spark plug wire as shown.
7. Connect the #1 ignition coil and spark plug with the retro-fitted wire. Connect the inductive pick-up of a timing light to the wire.

8. Start the engine and warm it up until the water temperature indicator points to the middle of the gauge.
9. Operate the engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes under no load.
10. Idle engine and check timing.
Timing should be 15 ± 2° BTDC.

Fig. 13 Engine Compartment Components (Top View):

11. If necessary adjust the ignition timing by turning the crank angle sensor after loosening the bolts.
12. Turn the engine off.
13. If removed, reinstall the ignition coil with a light film of di-electric compound on the inside of the insulator boot.
CAUTION: Be certain the insulator is completely seated prior to tightening the bolts to prevent damaging the ignition coil.
14. Torque the ignition coil fasteners to 2.5 to 3.2 N-m (0.25-0.32 kg-m/1.8-2.4 ft.lbs).
15. If removed, reinstall the ornamental cover.
16. If removed, reinstall the harness bracket.
17. If removed, reinstall the intake air duct.
