Coat the taper with Loctite 242 (blue).
Place the woodruff key, the flywheel and the lock washer on the
crankshaft.
Clean the threads of the nut and coat it with Loctite 242 (blue)
before tightening it to
105 N-m (10.5 kg-m, 77 lbf-ft) .
When reassembling, coat all the electrical connectors with
silicone insulating grease (P/N 413 7017 00) to prevent

corrode.
ADJUSTING THE IGNITION TIMING
If, for some reason or another, there is any doubt about the
precision of the ignition adjustment, it can be verified in the
following way.
Checking the position of the adjustment mark on the
flywheel
Before checking the adjustment, it may be necessary to check
the position of the adjustment mark on the flywheel. The
following verifications must be carried out:
1. To locate the missing or broken disk key in the flywheel
area, which would modify the ignition time, eventually
causing the engine to stall.
2. To locate precisely and to trace an adjustment mark on
a spare flywheel.
3. To check the exact location of the adjustment mark
traced at the factory.
4. To detect an inadequate flywheel.
To check the position of the adjustment mark on the flywheel,
proceed as follows:
1. Clean the surface around the spark plugs and then
remove these spark plugs.
2. Remove the recoil starter from the engine.
