IMING
Timing is set by adjusting the Ball Joint Connector and Nut located on the Advancer Link Rod. The Ball
Joint Connector attaches to the Ball Joint on the underside of the Coil Plate Assembly. Timing is measured
in degrees with the scale located on the Coil Plate Assembly. The scale markings indicate 5° increments,
beginning with -10° and ending with 25°. The measurement is read from the scale at the point where the
seam (fitting line) of the crank case and block coincide. To make adjustments, remove the Ball Joint
Connector from the Coil Plate. Adjust the length of the Advancer Link Rod so that the ignition timing
match mark lines up with the fitting line of the crankcase and block and lock it with a nut.
