Ignition Timing: Testing and Inspection

1. Warm-up the engine.




2. To check the ignition timing, connect a timing light to #1 cylinder spark plug cord, and illuminate the timing mark with the timing light.
If the timing is not correct, check the ignition control system.

Ignition timing [BTDC/rpm]: 200 ± 8 ° / 700

NOTE: To improve stability, ignition timing while engine is idling is also controlled. For this reason specified ignition timing range is increased somewhat, to ±8°.
