q. Attach either the red or green wire of the timing light to the bronze point terminal and the black wire to the
frame of the magneto. (Refer to Figure 8-13.) With a screwdriver, adjust the points so the timing light indicates
point openings and the points open. Secure the points by tightening the screws. This will provide a point gap of
.008 - .010 in. Attach the coil wire to the vertical bronze male terminal of the point assembly.
r. Assemble the condenser into the distributor housing, being careful to rotate the condenser wire the same
rotation as the condenser is tightened in the housing. Torque to 110 in. Ibs. Assemble the distributor gear in the
distributor block, with the L and R facing you. Assemble the bearing bar to the distributor block so that the open
side of the dust collector is toward the air vent and hood. Assemble the distributor block in the distributor
housing, with the cut-away toward the condenser. Use screws and lockwashers. Torque to 18-20 in. Ibs.
s. Connect the condenser wire to the slip terminal on the point assembly . Align the L or R (depending on
magneto rotation) on the rotor gear so it points toward the high tension lead of the coil.
t. Align the L or R on the distributor gear with the L or R on the distributor block and insert the timing pin
(T-l18) through the block into the gear.
u. Fit the distributor housing to the frame making sure the bosses of the distributor housing are seated in the
slots of the frame. Start by fitting the top boss (next to the vent) and assemble the distributor housing into place.
—CAUTION—
Do not bend the high tension lead of the coil.
v. Secure the distributor housing to the frame with four screws and four lockwashers. Torque to 24 in. Ibs.
and remove timing pin.
