19niton

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

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

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

CENTRIFUGAL
ADVANCE
MECHANISM

Special
equipment
is

required
to
check
the
advance

characteristics
It
is

possible
however
to

carry
out
an
exam

ination
of

the
caffi

assembly
and
the

weights
and

springs
to

ensure
that
the
earn
is
not

seizing

Lift
off
the
distributor

cap
and
turn
the
rotor
anti
clock

wise
When

the
rotor

is
released
is
should
return
to

the
fully

retarded

position
without

sticking
If
it

does
not
return
to
the

fully
retarded

position
it
will
be

necessary
to
check
for

dirt

and
weak

springs

It
should
be
noted
that

any
wear
in
the

mechanism
or

lose
of

spring
tension
will

upset
the
advance
characteristics
and

cause

unsatisfactory
engine
running
performance
over
the

speed

range

VACUUM
ADVANCE
MECHANISM

The

diaphragm
of
the
vacuum
advance

mechanism
is

mechanically
connected
to
the
contact
breaker

plate
The
rise

and
fall
of
inlet
manifold

depression
causes

the

diaphragm
to

move

the
contact
breaker

plate
to

advance
or

retard
the

ignition

If
the
vacuum

control
unit
fails
to

function

correctly
a

check
can
be
carried
out
to
ensure
that
the
contact
breaker

plate

is

moving
freely
and
that
the

three
steel

balls
at

the

top
and

oottom
of
the

plate
are

adequately
lubricated

Also
make
sure
that
the
vacuum
inlet

pipe
is
not
blocked

or

leaking
and
is

securely
tightened

Leakage
may
be
due
to
a

defective

diaphragm
which

should

be
renewed

along
with

any
other

faulty
part
of
the

feeds

fuel

from
the
tank
to
the
carburettor
in
a

regulated
supply

according
to
the
needs
of
the

engine
A
cartridge
type
fuel

strainer

prevents
any
dirt
from

reaching
the

pump
inlet

The

carburettor
fitted
to

the

engine
is
either
a

type
equipped
with
a
throttle

operated

acceleration

pump
and
power
valve
mechanism

See
Fig

carburettor
of
the

type
shown
in

Fig

In
the

two
barrel

type
carburettor

fuel
flows
from
the

passage
at
the

bottom
of
the
float
chamber

passes
through
the

primary
main

jet
and
mixes
with
air

introduced

through
the
main
air
bleed

screw

The

petrol
and
air
mixture
is

injected
into
the
venturi

through
the
main
nozzle

Each
time
the
accelerator

pedal
is

depressed
the
throttle

opens
and
the
accelerator

pump
forces
a

jet
of

petrol
into
the

air
stream
to
allow
the

engine
to
accelerate

smoothly
See

Fig

The

power
valve
mechanism
is

operated
automatically

according
to
the
demands
made

by
the

engine
Under
light
load

i
e

part
throttle
conditions
the
intake
manifold

depression
is

transmitted
below
the
throttle
valve
the
vacuum

pulls
a

piston

upwards
against
a

spring
and
leaves
the

power
valve
closed

allowing
additional
air
to
be

admitted
through
the
air
bleed
screw

and
thereby
weaken
the

petrol
and
air
mixture
When
the
vacuum

below
the
throttle
vaJve
is
lowered

during
full
load
conditions

the

piston
is

pushed
down
opening
the

power
valve
and
providing

additional
fuel
to
enrichen
the
mixture

The
model

HJ
L
38W6
SU
twin
carburettor
is
of

the

horizontal
variable
venturi

type
and
is
used

only
on
the
1600

and
1800
cc

engines
In
this

type
of
carburettor
a

constant

flow
of
intake
air
is

maintained

by
the

automatically
adjusted

venturi

opening
this
is
accomplished

by
the
suction

piston

sliding
in
accordance
with

changes
in
the
volume
of
intake
air

Referring
to

Fig
D

the
suction
chamber
is
mounted
above

the
venturi
The
suction

piston
slides
vertically
within
the

chamber

and

changes
the
venturi

opening
area
The

piston
is

operated
by
a

difference
between
the

upper
vacuum

pressure

which
is

applied
through
the
suction

poct
and
the
atmospheric

pressure
which

is
introduced

DESCRIPTION

A
12
volt

negative
earth
electrical

system
is
used
in
which

the

battery
is

charged
by
an
alternator
In
the
alternator
a

magnetic
field
is

produced
by
the
rotor

which
consists
of
the

alternator
shaft
field
coil

p
le

pieces
and

slip
rings

Output
current
is

generated
in
the
armature
coils
located

in
the
stator
Six
silicon
diodes
are

incorporated
in
the
alternator

caSing
to

rectify
the

alternating
current

supply
A
voltage

regulator
and

pilot
lamp
relay
are
built
in
the

regulator
box

which

nonnally
does
not

give
trouble
or

require
attention

The
starter
motor
is
a

brush

type
series
wound
motor

in

which

positive
meshing
of
the

pinion
and

ring

gear
teeth
are

secured

by
means
of
an

overrunning
clutch

BATTERY
Maintenance

The

battery
should
be
maintained
in
a
clean
and

dry

condition
at
all
times
or
a
current

leakage
may
occur

between

the
terminals
If

frequent
topping

up
is

required
it
is
an

indication
of

overcharging
or
deterioration
of
the

battery

When

refitting
the
cables
clean
them

thoroughly
and
coat

their

terminals
and
the
terminal

posts
with

petroleum
jelly

Check
the
level
of
the

electrolyte
in
the

battery
at

frequent

intervals
and

top
up
if

necessary
to

the
level
mark
on

the

battery
case
with
distilled
water
A

hydrometer
test
should
be

carried
out

to
determine
the
state

of

charge
of

the

battery
by

measuring
the

specific
gravity
of
the

electrolyte
It
should
be

pointed
out

that
the
addition
of

sulphuric
acid
will
not

normally

be

necessary
and
should

only
be
carried
out

by
an

expert
when

required

The

specific
gravity
of
the

electrolyte
should
be
ascertained

with
the

battery

fully
charged
at
an

electrolyte
temperature
of

200C
680F

The

specific
gravity
of
the

electrolyte
decreases
or
increases

by
0
0007
when
its

temperature
rises
or
falls

by
10C
1
80F

respectively

The

temperature
referred

to
is
that
of
the

electrolyte
and

not
the
ambient

temperature
to
correct
a

reading
for
an
air

temperature
it
will
be

necessary
to

add
0
0035
to
the

reading

for

every
50C
above
200C

Conversely
0
0035
must

be
deducted

for

every
SOC
below
200C
Test
each
cell

separately
and
draw

the

liquid
into
the

hydrometer
several
times
if
a
built
in

thermometer
type
is
used

The
correct

readings
should
be
