– You recheck the marks with the timing light and
found that the flywheel mark is still too ad-
vanced. You know now that the correction
made previously was not enough and you esti-
mate the correction should be set to 2
°
(retard-
ed) to retard flywheel mark more. Back in the
chart, look to find 2
°
(retarded). This gives num-
ber 6. Enter this number with the programmer.
– You recheck the marks with the timing light and
they are now aligned. The adjustment is fin-
ished.
c. You found the flywheel mark retarded. You
must advance the timing.
– The programmer gives you the number 4. Re-
ferring to the chart, number 4 returns 1
°
. The
timing correction is actually set at 1
°
(advanced)
and this is too much.
– You estimate the correction should be set to 2
°
(advanced) to advance flywheel mark so that
the timing marks align. Back in the chart, look
to find 2
°
(advanced). This gives number 3. En-
ter this number with the programmer.
– You recheck the marks with the timing light and
they are now aligned. The adjustment is fin-
ished.
