#1 lead is usually at about 1 or 2 o'clock on the dizzy cap. They are numbered 1-3-4-2 going ANTI-clockwise.

Well the dizzy driveshaft may be installed 180° out, this is common as the worknshop manual is confusing on this point. If the leads are all 180° from what I said and it runs, leave it be.. it ain't broke.

Ahh I see, easy way to do this so you don't make a mistake is to change one at a time. |

Doc's advice is good - *if* the dizzie is installed as per factory instructions... However, to be absolutely sure. Set the engine with No1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke (important as TDC occurs twice per cycle). Where ever the rotor arm is pointing IS No 1. Count off the others asa previously advised..... Cheers, Ian |
