TION

The

ignition
circuit

comprises
the
distributor

ignition
coil

ignition
switch

spark
plugs
high
tension
lead
and
the

battery

See
Fig

The

timing
is

automatically
regulated
by
the
distributor

centrifugal
advance
mechanism
or
vacuum
advance
mechanism

depending
upon
the

demand
made
on

the
engine

The
vacuum
advance
mechanism

operates
under
part

throttle

only
and
uses
intake
manifold

depression
to
advance
the

ignition
timing
When
the

engine
speed
is
increased
the
vacuum

is

inoperative
and
ignition
timing
is

regulated
by
the

centrifugal

advance
mechanism

The

centrifugal
advance
mechanism
uses
a

system
of

governor
weights
and

springs
which
turn
the
carn

assembly
in
on

anti
clockwise
direction
to

advance
the

ignition
timing
As
the

engine
speed
is
decreased
the

weights
move
back
and
allow
the

cam
to
return

thereby
retarding
the

ignition
timing

The

ignition
coil
is
an
oil
filled
unit

comprising
a
coil

around
which
is
wound
the

secondary
and

primary
windings
The

number
of
turns
in
the

primary
winding
provide
a

high
secondary

voltage
throughout
the

speed
range
The
resistor
is
automatically

by
passed
at
the
moment
of

starting
and
allows
the

ignition

coil
to

be

directly
connected
to

the

battery
This
applies
the

full

battery
voltage
to
the

coil
to

give
the

necessary
staTting

boost

When
the
starter
switch
is
released
the
current
flows
through

the
resistor
and
the

voltage
through
the
coil
is

dropped
for

normal

running
purposes

IGNITION
TIMING

The

ignition
timing
can

be

accurately
checked

using
a

stroboscopic
timing
light
which
should
be
connected
in
accor

dance
with
the
manufacturers
instructions

Make
sure
that
the

timing
marks
on
the
crankshaft

pulley

are
visible
if

they
are
not
visible
mark

them
with
chalk

or

white

paint
Each
mark

represents
a
50
division
of
the
crank

angle

Disconnect
the
distributor
vacuum

line
start

the

engine

and
allow
it
to
run
at
normal

idling
speed
or

slightly
below

Point
the

timing
light
at
the

timing
pointer
on
the
front
cover

Fig
C
3
The
crankshaft

pulley
groove
should

appear

to

be

stationery
and

aligned
with
the

pointer
on
the
front
cover

The

top
dead
centre
mark
is
located
at
the
extreme

right
as

shown
in
the
illustration
If
the

setting
requires
adjustment
the

distributor

flange
bolts
must
be
slackened
and
the
distributor

body
turned
clockwise
to
advance
or
anti
clockwise
to
retard

the

timing
See
Technical
Data
for

timing
settings

After

adjusting
the

timing
tighten
the
distributor

flange

bolts
and
recheck
the

timing

IGNITION
DISTRIBUTOR
Maintenance

Remove
the
distributor

cap
by
easing
away
the
two

clamps

and
examine
the

points
for

signs
of

burning
or

pitting
The

points
can
be
cleaned
if

necessary
using
a
fine

grade
of
oilstone

or
file
The
faces
of
the

points
must
be

completely
flat
and

parallel
and
all
abrasive
dust
removed
with

compressed
air
If

the

points
are

excessively
pitted
they
must

be
renewed
and

grease

applied
to
the

moving
contact

pivot
and
the
surface
of

the
cam

Ensure
that
the
distributor

cap
is

thoroughly
clean
both
inside

and
outside
A

contaminated

cap
will

promote
tracking

indicated

by
black
lines
and
caused

by
electrical

leakage
between

the

segments
on
the
inside
of

the

cap
Make
sure
that
the

carbon

button
is
not
worn
Both
the
distributor

cap
and
rotor

must
be
renewed
if

they
are
cracked
or

damaged

To

adjust
