STARTING SYSTEM-General Information 8-91
STARTING SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
NOBFAAJ
The electrical circuit of the starter system consists of battery, starter motor, solenoid switch, ignition switch,
inhibitor switch, connecting wire and battery cable.
In the starter system and electrical circuit, electricity flows to activate the coils of the starter motor solenoid when
the ignition switch is turned to the start position. In so doing, the solenoid plunger and clutch shift lever move, the
clutch pinion engages with the ring gear and then the solenoid contacts shut and the starter motor cranks.
As soon as the engine begins to run and, in order to prevent damage due to over-revolution by the armature starter,
the running clutch pinion gear over-rides, Thus in order not to cause damage to the starter motor once the engine
is running, the ignition switch must be immediately turned back to the ON position.
The starter motor is the reduction-drive type, and is compact and lightweight.

sensor connector before stopping engine. Then restart
engine and run it at curb idle speed.
4. Check basic ignition timing and adjust if necessary.
Basic ignition timing: 7” + 2”BTDC 5. To adjust ignition timing, loosen distributor mounting nut
and turn distributor housing.
6. After adjustment, securely tighten mounting nut.
7. Reconnect pressure sensor connector disconnected in
Step 3. Then run engine at curb idle speed to make sure
that actual ignition timing is obtained.

CHECKING IGNITION SYSTEM NOBDIDB
CHECKING CENTRIFUGAL ADVANCE EQUIPMENT 1.
Set the tachometer and timing light.
2. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
3. Pull out vacuum hose from vacuum controller.
4. Check the advance while slowly raising RPM. If the advance is
smooth when accompanying the increasing RPM, this is
normal.
Symptom Assumed causes
Excessive advance
Weakness of the governor spring
Sudden advance rise
Broken spring
Insufficient advance or large
Impaired movement of the gover-
hysteresis
nor weight or cam.
5. If the malfunction indicators above are confirmed, dismantle
and check the distributor.
6. After checking, let the engine idle and then turn the ignition
switch to OFF.
7. Remove the tachometer and timing light.‘.

E ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
T AIMING
PRE-AIMING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Test dimmer switch operation.
2. Observe operation of high beam indicator light
mounted in instrument cluster.
3. Inspect for badly rusted or faulty headlight assemblies.
These conditions must be corrected before a satisfactory ad-
justment can be made.
4. Place vehicle on a level floor.
5. Jounce front suspension through three (3) oscillations by
applying body weight to hood or bumper.
6. Inspect tire inflation.
7. Rock vehicle sideways to allow vehicle to assume its normal
position.
8. If fuel tank is not full, place a weight in trunk of vehicle to
simulate weight of a full tank [3 kg (6.5 Ibs.) per gallon].
9. There should be no other load in the vehicle other than driver
or substituted weight of approximately 70 kg (150 Ibs.) placed
in driver’s position.
10. Throughly clean headlight lenses.
11. Adjust headlights by following the instructions for the
headlight tester manufacturer.
LUMINOUS INTENSITY MEASUREMENT Measure the luminous intensity of headlights with a photometer in
accordance with the instruction manual prepared by the manufac-
turer of the photometer and make sure that the luminous intensity
is within the following limit.
Luminous intensity at the center of high intensity zone for high
beam.
Limit : 20,000 cd or more NOTE
1. When measuring the luminous intensity of headlight, keep the
engine at 2,000 rpm and have the battery charged.
2. If there are specific regulations for luminous intensity of head-
lights in the region where the vehicle is operated, make sure
that the intensity conforms to the requirements of such reg-
ulations.

24-38 AIR-CONDITIONING-Service Adjustment Procedures
(4) Purge the air from the charging line by loosening the charging
hose at the gauge set manifold and turning one of the refrig-
erant valves counterclockwise to release refrigerant. When
the refrigerant gas starts escaping from the loose connection,
re-tighten the hoses.
Caution
Never heat small refrigerant cans over 52°C (125°F) as they
mad explode.
(5) qully open all refrigerant manifold valves being used and place
the cans of refrigerant into a pan containing 52°C (125°F) water
will warm the charging can and aid in the transfer of the charge
into the system. Place the water pan and refrigerant cans on
a scale and note the weight.
(6) Jump the low pressure switch terminals located on the re-
ceiver drier so the clutch will remain engaged.
(7) Start the engine and move the controls to air conditioner
switch on and low blower position.
The low pressure switch will prevent the clutch from engaging
until refrigerant is added to the system. If the clutch does
engage, replace the switch before proceeding any further.
(8) Charge through the suction side of the system by slowly open-
ing the suction manifold valve. Adjust the valve as necessary
so charging pressure does not exceed 345 kPa (50 psi).
Maintain the temperature of the water in the pan by adding
warm water as necessary. Note the weight of water
added, to ensure accuracy when determining amount of
refrigerant added to system.
(9) Adjust the engine speed to a fast idle of approximately 1500
rpm.
(IO) When specified refried refrigerant charge 730 (1.6 Ibs.) has
entered the system, close the gauge set manifold valves,
refrigerant manifold valves, and reconnect wiring. Each
can contains 397 g (14 oz.) of R-12. Use 2 l/2 cans.
