Ignition Timing: Adjustments

PROCEDURE

NOTE: This Ignition system controls timing and spark advance electronically and allows no provisions for adjustment. The following procedure is for inspection only. If a problem is found refer to individual component testing.





1. Connect the test probe of a tachometer to terminal IG (-) of the Data Link Connector 1.

CAUTION: NEVER allow the tachometer terminal to touch ground as it could result in damage to the Igniter and/or Ignition Coil. As some tachometers are not compatible with this ignition system. we recommend that you confirm the compatibility of yours before use.

3. Using a timing light. check the ignition timing.

Ignition timing: 10° ± 2° BTDC @ idle
