11.Set the timing light’s advance control to “0”. Restart the engine.

12.Aim the timing light at the timing marks, pull the trigger and note engine timing.

13.Adjust engine RPM if necessary, and apply vacuum levels to the vacuum advance dia- phragm as indicated by the vehicle service manual. (If it is necessary to reset engine RPM via service manual instruction, note engine timing again as indicated in Step12).

14.Turn the timing light’s advance control up scale until the timing mark on the engine returns to its starting point as noted in Step 12.

15.Note the timing advance (in degrees) with each application of vacuum and compare the result with service manual values. Fail- ure to obtain the vacuum advance readings may indicate a leaky diaphragm, sticky advance mechanism, or lack of vacuum to drive the vacuum motor diaphragm.

16.After all testing is complete, make sure to reset any idle speeds and reconnect any hoses or electrical connectors which may have been disconnected during the test procedure.

INSTRUCCIONES

INTRODUCCION

La regulación o reglaje preciso del encendido es esencial para lograr el máximo de economía y de combustible y rendimiento de cualquier motor de encendido por bujías. La luz de regulación proporciona un método sencillo para afinar los motores de los vehículos modernos. La luz de regulación del avance permite además probar las curvas de regulación del avance de los tipos controlados por vacío, mecánico o computadora.

Casi todos los motores requieren que la regulación, tanto las calibraciones iniciales y de avance, sea ajustada o probada a velocidades específicas del motor, o en algunos casos con un vacío específico aplicado al diafragma de avance al vacío en el distribuidor, o en la computadora a bordo del vehículo. El proveedor ofrece una diversidad de analizadores de

motores capaces de medir la velocidad (rpm) del motor, y bombas de vacío para aplicar vacío cuando se requiera. Para más información acerca de estos instrumentos, ponerse en comunicación con él. En el caso de motores equipados con sistemas de encendido de platinos, se deberá revisar y, si es necesario, ajustar el intervalo de reposo de los platinos antes de ajustar la regulación. Asegurar que el instrumento utilizado es capaz de medir el intervalo de reposo.

Las luces de regulación en caja metálica se usan en los sistemas con negativo (-) a tierra de doce (12) voltios solamente. Las luces con caja de plástico pueden usarse en los sistemas con negativo (-) o positivo (+) a tierra de seis (6) o doce (12) voltios, siguiendo las instrucciones que se dan a continuación.
