![]() It can burn holes in your clothing and burn your skin or eyes. Accidentally grounding the battery's positive (+) terminal can shock or burn you and damage wiring, the battery or your tools and testers. Gasoline vapor is highly flammable, and the gas formed in a charging battery is explosive.ĭo not lay tools or equipment on the battery. Escaping coolant under pressure can cause serious burns. Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot. ![]() Make sure that your car is in Park or Neutral, and that the parking brake is firmly set.Īvoid contact with hot surfaces such as exhaust manifolds, pipes, mufflers, radiator and hoses. If vehicle is in an enclosed area, exhaust should be routed directly to the outside using a leakproof exhaust hose. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry when working on a vehicle.ĪLWAYS operate vehicle in a well-ventilated area. Wear safety goggles when working on a vehicle to protect your eyes from battery acid, gasoline, and airborne dust and dirt from moving engine parts.īe very careful not to get your hands, hair or clothes near any moving parts such as fan blades, belts and pulleys or throttle and transmission linkages. Allow soaked rags to dry thoroughly in open air before discarding. Store rags and flammable liquids only in fireproof containers. Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical fires on hand whenever working on a vehicle. I've probably told you things that you already know, but I hope this helps.INNOVA 3551, 3555 - Inductive/Advance Timing Light Manual The pistons number 1 2 3 4 on the right side front to back & 5 6 7 8 on the left side front to back. If that works ok then your timing's not far off. Advance it a bit at a time till it revs smoothly without baulking. Stop, take the dizzy anticlockwise a bit till it will accelerate from a slow speed without pinging.Īlso if it spits & farts when you rev the engine (while not moving) it's too far retarded. If it pings on acceleration, you're too far retarded.not you, your timing!!. Take it out on the road and give it a run. Take it back clockwise a little till it's idling good. At this point you're too far advanced & the thing won't run & probably won't even start. When it's ticking over, rotate the dizzy anticlockwise (advancing the timing) & the thing should idle faster, until it gets to a point where it starts to buck & slow again. This is static timing, and the engine should start at this point. Rotate the engine one complete revolution till the rotor is lined up with No 1 pot & check that the points are open. If the timing mark is lined up ok, but the rotor is pointing at No 6 cylinder, then you're on the exhaust stroke. The timing mark should be lined up with the pointer on the crank pully. ie, they're sitting on a high point of a lobe on the shaft. At this point the rotor will be pointing to the No1 lead & you should turn the distributor, ever so slightly until the points are fully open. To set your timing the easist thing to do is to get the No1 piston (that's the front left as you're looking in the engine bay from the front) at Top Dead Centre (TDC). (If you're having trouble sucking, I know a young lady who's good at it.?). The harder you suck, the further it'll move. (Advanced spark) If you lift the cap off the dizzy, and disconnect the little pipe from the dizzy to the manifold and suck on the end of that pipe, you'll see the points plate move anticlockwise a bit. This has the effect of opening the points early. Vacuum advance means that when there's engine vacuum it sucks on the tube from the manifold & pulls the plate that the points are mounted on, thus bringing the points anticlockwise a bit so as to meet the high lobe on the dizzy shaft a bit early.
