3.2 IGNITION
Undo the 7 bolts retaining the flywheel cover and
remove it, together with the stator and pickup that
are mounted on it.
3.3 CYLINDER HEAD
Remove the washer from the TDC bolt and look
for TDC between the compression and combustion
strokes. At this point, all the valves are fully closed
and the complete timing system is therefore un-
loaded.
To find TDC, set up a dial gauge with suitable sup-
port in the sparkplug hole, and rotate the flywheel
by hand until the dial gauge indicates that the pis-
ton has reached its highest point.
Then tighten the crankshaft locking bolt without the
washer and check that the crank is locked by trying
to rotate the flywheel.
Remove the sprocket from the output end of the
layshaft after first removing the retaining circlip, and
then remove the further circlip located behind the
sprocket.
