Fitting Instructions
- Remove LH engine cover, exposing the alternator. Undo the x3 nuts holding the alternator/stator. Retain the nuts.
- Remove alternator/stator from the cover and also the inner casing.
- Undo the rotor retaining nut (see fig 2). This can be done by holding the rotor with a suitable tool. If an impact wrench is available it is not normally necessary to hold the rotor.
- Fit new rotor, ensure it locates on the original key and has the cast hexagon facing out, locate spacer and nut, tighten the rotor onto the crankshaft.
- Refit the inner cover, slide the stator on to the 3 studs in the position show (see fig3.). Ensure it is correctly located in the casing.
- Fit the x3 spacers provided and screw on original nuts, don't fully tighten yet.
- Unscrew spark plug, set piston to TDC position (use dial gauge if available). Without moving the rotor align the yellow stator mark with the yellow rotor mark, see fig 3. The white mark shown on the stator is the position of maximum advance.
- The ignition may be advanced or retarded from this set position depending on individual requirements and engine tune. Note: The factory setting of 16 degrees is for the original points system with fixed timing and is a compromise between starting the engine and maximum power, it is not relevant for this system.
- Tighten stator retaining nuts. Check timing is correct as in step 7.
- Locate output cable in exit slot, use original alternator grommet if available (cut and re-glue with super glue).
- Fit CDI and HT in a convenient position and connect the orange female spade terminal to the HT coil and the black ring terminal to earth on the HT coil. The black/white cable is for a kill switch (not supplied).
