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
mechanism

reversal
of
the

dismantling
procedure

Lubricate
the

moving
contact

pivot
and
smear
the
lobes
of
the

cam
with
multi

purpose
grease

If

the
centrifugal
advance
mechanism
has
been
dismantled

the

governor
springs
and
cams
must
be
refitted
as

shown
in

Fig

The

governor
weight

pin

should
be
fitted
into

the

longer

the
two
slots

leaving
a
certain
amount
of

clearance

for
the
start

and
end
of
the

centrifugal
advance
movement

When

installing
the
distributor
take
care
to

align
the

body

and
rotor

with
the
marks
made
during
removal
The
rotor
must

be

positioned
in
its

original
location
it
will
turn

slightly
when

the

is
inserted
and

mark
until
both

SPARKING
PLUGS

The

sparking
plugs
should
be

inspected
and
cleaned
at

regular
intervals
not

exceeding

every
10
000
km
6000
miles

New

sparking
plugs
should
be
fitted
at

approximately
20
000

km
12

miles

Remove
the

plugs
and
check
the
amount
of
electrode

wear
and

type
of

deposits
Brown
to

greyish
tan

deposits
with

slight
electrode
wear

indicate
that
the

plugs
are

satisfactory
and

working
in

the
correct
heat

range

Dry
fluffy
carbon

deposits
are
caused

by
too

rich
a
mixture

dirty
air
cleaner
excessive
idling
or

faulty
ignition
In
this

case

it
is
advisable
to

replace
the

plugs
with

plugs
having
a

higher
heat

range
Oily
wet
black

deposits
are
an

indication

of

oil
in

the
combustion
chambers

through
worn

pistons
and

rings
or
excessive
clearance
between
