NOTE:
To ensure proper engagement of the kick gear with the starter nut, tighten the six
screws only to the point of being not extremely loose. Using one hand rotate the
kick lever to ½ stroke and hold while tightening the six screws completely with
the other hand.
8. Fill with oil (235 ml (8.0 oz)
Cobra 3 Shoe Clutch Milk.
Ignition
Stator care
Stator failure will result from running the bike hot. Following is a list of things that
will make your engine run hot.
1. The timing should not exceed the maximum specifications listed.
2. Improper carburetor jetting.
3. Improper spark plug heat range. Never run a hotter plug than the specified
spark plug.
4. Clutch slippage. See “CLUTCH” section for causes of slippage.
CAUTION:
•
Because of the amount of heat generated by the clutch and engine during
extended periods of riding, it is advisable to remove the ignition cover
afterward to allow the ignition to cool off. The heat transfers through the cases
and can damage the stator as it cools off because of lack of airflow around
the stator.
•
Ignition will overheat if the gap between the rotor and stator is not large
enough. There should be even clearance as the rotor rotates relative to the
stator.
•
Non-resistor spark plug caps should be used. Resistor caps will result in a
weaker spark that will reduce performance.
•
Make sure ground wires are secure.
•
Make sure connections are free of dirt.
CAUTION:
If the engine is hot, it would be helpful to take the ignition cover off to allow
cooling.
The proper ignition timing for this model of is at
0.045”
before Top Dead Center
(that means 0.045” before the piston reaches the highest point of it’s travel in the
cylinder).
