SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
9. INSTALLATION OF DISTRIBUTOR
(1) Align the notch on the crankshaft pulley with the timing
mark “T” on the timing indicator to set the engine so
that the No. 1 cylinder is at the compression top dead
center.
(2) Align mating mark on distributor housing with mating mark
on distributor driven gear.
(3) Install distributor to cylinder head while aligning mating
mark on distributor attaching flange with center of distrib-
utor installing stud and tighten nut.
l-4. INSTALLATION OF SPARK PLUG CABLE
Improper arrangement of spark plug cables will induce voltage
between the cables, causing miss firing and developing a
surge at acceleration in high-speed operation. Therefore, be
careful to arrange the spark plug cables properly by the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Install the spark plug cable clamps as shown in the illus-
tration.
2. The numerals on the support and clamp indicate the spark
plug cable No.
3. Pay attention to the following items when the spark plug
cables are installed.
(1) Install the cables securely to avoid possible contact
with metal parts.
(2) Install the cables neatly, ensuring they are not too
tight, loose, twisted or kinked.

SERVICE POINTS OF DISASSEMBLY
10. DISASSEMBLY OF ROTOR SHAFT/l 1. SIGNAL ROTOR
Place igniter base on soft base (wooden block) and lightly tap
rotor shaft to remove it from signal rotor.
13. DISASSEMBLY OF SPRING RETAINERI14. GOVERNOR
SPRING
Remove two spring retainers with pliers and then remove two
governor springs.
17. DISASSEMBLY OF DRIVEN GEAR
(1) Mark location of driven gear on distributor shaft.
(2) Place driven gear on soft base (wood block) so that spring
pin can be removed.
(3) Using a pin punch, remove spring pin.
INSPECTION
Check according to the following provisions and repair or replace
anything faulty.
CAP ROTOR
(1) Ensure there are no cracks in the cap.
(2) Ensure that the electrodes of the cap and of the rotor are
undamaged.
(3) Wipe off any dirt from the cap or the rotor.
SERVICE POINTS OF REASSEMBLY
Before servicing be sure to clean and inspect all parts.

INSPECTION (1) Disconnect the wiring connector
from the ignition switch,
and connect an ohmmeter to the
switch side connector. (2) Operate the switch, and check the continuity between the
terminals.
