ignition timing
a. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then let it run at the specified en-
gine idling speed.

b. Check that the pickup coil a is within the fir-
ing range b on th timing plate.
Incorrect firing range Check the ignition
system.
The ignition timing is not adjustable.

MEASURING THE COMPRESSION PRES-
SURE
The following procedure applies to all of the cyl-
inders.
Insufficient compression pressure will result in a
loss of performance.
1. Check:
valve clearance
Out of specification Adjust.
Refer to “ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEAR-
ANCE”.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
