Dynamic Test
To check ignition timing, use Bombardier timing
light (P/N 529 031 900).
717 Engines
NOTE: To perform this procedure, make sure to
use a stroboscopic timing light rated up to 6000
RPM. Otherwise, an inaccurate reading will be ob-
tained.
The ignition components are affected by temper-
ature variation, therefore, timing must be checked
when engine is cold, after idling for a MAXIMUM
of 20 seconds.
1. Connect an induction-type tachometer (P/N
295 000 100) to spark plug wire.
1. Tachometer pick-up
