Points advance unit

<< < (5/5)

There's some really good images on here of the correct position.....but I can't readily find them.

It won't run if fitted backwards...giving crude analysis to confirm  :)

Finding out...install it however fitted, turn the crank to F on 1&4 (as that's indexed to crank) the cam should now be starting ramp to lift points of 1&4 set to fire those piston at the top of stroke.
The other, wrong way, it will be just starting to lift 2&3 with those piston at the bottom of stroke.

ka-ja:
here you go, cam position notch

Thanks!  I had found some images of the TEC unit and ASSumed it would be the same but wanted to be sure.  The pics I found of the ND were too low resolution/grainy to see, including those in the service manual.
