Correctly set ignition timing directly affects vehicle dynamics, fuel efficiency and overall durability. With late ignition, the engine overheats, loses power due to incomplete combustion of the working mixture and over-consumes fuel. Too early provokes knocking knocks in the engine, power also drops, and valves and pistons may burn out.
It is necessary
- - a set of keys;
- - control lamp.
Instructions
Step 1
Remove the valve cover. Turn the crankshaft using the starting handle until the mark on the crankshaft pulley aligns with the pin point on the block and the mark on the sprocket with the mark on the cylinder head.
Step 2
Release the latches and remove the ignition distributor cover, or distributor, as it is more simply called. Unscrew the two nuts with a key "10" and lift the distributor. Place the slider opposite the armored wire of the first cylinder.
Step 3
Put the distributor in place and secure. Start the engine. Take the key "12" and loosen the hex at the bottom of the distributor. With the engine running, gently turn the distributor housing to achieve smooth engine operation. Tighten the nut. This is how the ignition is exposed by ear.
Step 4
A widespread method of setting the ignition using a test lamp. Aligning the marks on the pulley and the pin on the block, directing the breaker slider in the direction of the low voltage wire terminal, loosen the distributor. Connect one wire of the test lamp to the terminal of the low voltage wire, and the other to ground, turn on the ignition. Hold the slider in the locked position with one hand, and with the other, gently turn the breaker counterclockwise until the light comes on. The ignition timing is set.
Step 5
Some people consider the most accurate way to set the ignition timing on the go. Accelerate on a straight road in fourth gear up to 55-60 km / h and sharply give the gas to the police. If it knocks, stop and turn on the ignition later. Adjust to the point where light 1-2 knocks are heard with a sharp increase in gas.
