Be sure to have the ignition
off before you start to hook things up. Discnnect the two wires connected
to the 1-4 points and push them aside a bit not touching anything (as shown
in the image below). This isolates the points from the circuit. Attach
one lead of the meter to the base of the points or the timing plate itself.
Attach the other to the spring on the points close to the nut/bolt.
Turn the crank with the wrench
slowly clockwise until the "F 1-4" mark just begins to show in the peephole
as shown above. Set the meter to OHMS, or "resistance" and in the "times"
or X 1K ohms range. With the crank in this position the meter should read
0 ohms, or no resistance.
Slowly turn the the crank clockwise
again until the F mark (green arrow above) lines up with the index mark
(red arrow above). Now it's time for the tedious stuff... |
