TIMING CHECKING AND SETTING

Since in this type of ignition there are not - as we
have said at page 6 - mechanical parts exposed to
the wear, .the timing remains during the time
practically unalterable. Anyway when irregularities
of functioning occur, remove the flywheel rotor
acting on the locking nut <. D >, (Fig. 17) (on the
Fig. 18 the rotor is already removed) and check that
the interference between the ignition control cam «
B and the pick - up < C >, is 0.25 - 0.30 mm on the
position of max. radius (see- Fig. 18).
If the suggested remedies are not sufficient in
eliminating the trouble and specific controls, and
timing are necessary, 

consult your Dealer
