the rotor is being turned in the same direc-
tion.
4. Set the dial gauge to zero at TDC.
5. From TDC, rotate the rotor clockwise until
the dial gauge indicates that the piston is at
a specified distance from TDC.

IGNITION TIMING CHECK
NOTE:
• The right pick-up coil

is provided so that
ignition timing can be set for both cylinders by
adjusting for the left cylinder only. Therefore,
do not loosen the screws (right pick-up coil)

.
• When the portion
a
of the right pick-up coil
aligns with the punch mark
b
on the stator,
the right pick-up coil forms an angle of 90˚
with the left pick-up coil, indicating that the
ignition timing is the same for both cylinders.
1. Remove:
• Cowling
• Fuel tank
• Spark plugs (left and right cylinder)
