Adjusting Breaker Point Gap.

NOTE: A L W A Y S CLEAN BREAKER POINTS AFTER ADJUSTMENT. OPEN

THE POINTS AND INSERT A PIECE OF LINTLESS PAPER. DRAW THE

P A P E R THROUGH BETWEEN THE POINTS. OPEN POINTS WHEN REMOV-

ING PAPER SO IT WILL NOT TEAR, LEAVING PAPER BETWEEN THE

POINTS.

5.2.2.3.10 Adjusting Breaker Point Gap.

Turn crankshaft until points open to widest gap. When adjusting breaker

point assemblies, move condenser forward or backward with a screw driver

until a gap of .020" is obtained.

5.2.2.3.11 Breaker Point Cover.

The breaker point cover protects the points from dirt. The opening for the

primary and/or ground wire should be sealed with Permatex or similar

sealer to prevent dirt from getting on the breaker points. Cover should not

be distorted so as to lose its seal around the outer edge. Replace if damaged.

5.2.2.3.12

Install

Armature.

Install governor blade, armature, and coil shield (when used). The mount-

ing holes in the armature laminations are slotted. Push armature up as

far as possible, and tighten one mounting screw to hold armature in place.

5.2.2.3.13 Adjust Armature Air Gap.

Set air gap between the flywheel and armature. Shown in Table 3. With

armature up as far as possible, and one screw tightened, slip the proper

gauge between armature and flywheel. Turn flywheel until magnets are di-

rectly below the armature. Loosen the one mounting screw and the magnets

should pull the armature down firmly against the thickness gauge. Then

tighten the mounting screws.
