C. Insure that the crankshaft is positioned in accordance with Section 12-6 "Placing
Crankshaft In Timing Position."
D. Insure that the magneto drive coupling bushings and retainers are properly installed.
Place a new gasket on the magneto flange and install magneto carefully so that the
drive coupling lugs mate with the slots of the drive bushings. Install holding washers,
lock washers and nuts. Snug nuts but do not torque. This will allow turning of the
magnetos for final timing. Remove the T118 timing pins from Slick magnetos.
WARNING
Any debris that falls into the engine interior must be removed prior to engine
operation.
E. Using the above procedure, paragraphs A through D, install the remaining magneto.
F. The magneto timing light breaker point leads are connected to the ground terminals of
the magnetos. The timing light breaker point leads are connected so that the light on the
right side of the timing light box represents the right magneto and the light on the left
side of the timing light box represents the left magneto. The timing lights should indicate
that the points in both magnetos are closed. Tap the right magneto up with a non-
marring hammer until the light indicates points just opening. Tap the left magneto down
until the light indicates points just opening. Secure magnetos.
G. Watch the lights on the magneto timing light. Turn the crankshaft a few degrees
counterclockwise then clockwise until the timing indicator's pointer is pointing to the
correct degree. As the pointer aligns with the correct degree both lights on the magneto
timing light must indicate that the points just open within one-half-degree of crankshaft
rotation. If timing light does not indicate the above re-adjust the magnetos.
NOTE . . . Point opening is indicated by light illumination on some timing lights while other
timing lights operate in the reverse manner, i.e., the light goes out when the points open.
CAUTION . . . When installing the magneto on the engine using the specified nuts and
clamps, take the following precautions. Tighten both nuts by hand to finger tightness.
Torque each nut alternately to 8.3 to 10.0 ft.-lbs. Exceeding 10.0 ft.-lbs. torque may cause
the mounting flange to crack.
H. Torque the magneto attaching hardware to 8.3 - 10.0 foot pounds.
Disconnect timing light from magnetos. Insure that connections between magneto and
ignition switch are secure.
I. If the ignition harness was removed during ignition system maintenance it must be
reinstalled in accordance with the following instructions.
IGNITION HARNESS PRE- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. Clean the mating surfaces before installing harness on magneto. Install and tighten nuts
around plate alternately to seat cover squarely on magneto. Torque screws according to the
Magneto Manufacturer's Instructions.
B. The harness assemblies are constructed of a lightweight, flexible, silicone coated cable.
Because the harness assemblies are lightweight and flexible the following must be observed
when installing the harness on an engine:
1. Support leads with the necessary clamps and cable ties to prevent any whipping or
chafing action.
2. Route leads as far away as possible from exhaust manifold to insure they are not
exposed to temperatures in excess of 400°F.
