advance point, as follows 
Lift the L.H. front wheel of the vehicle ( L.H. 
side of the vehicle jacked up ) and engage 
4th gear. 
Blank off the plug-hole with the palm of the hand. 
Rotate the L.H. front wheel, and stop when the 
palm of the hand is pushed back by the force of 
the compression. 
Slowly rotate the wheel to bring the 10”
