Distributor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION OF DISTRIBUTOR
1. INSPECT AIR GAPS




Using a feeler gauge, measure the gap between the signal rotor and pickup coil projection.

Air gap: 0.2 - 0.4 mm (0.008 - 0.016 in.)

If the gap is not within specification, replace the distributor.


2. INSPECT PICKUP COILS




Using an ohmmeter, check resistance of the pickup coil.

G1 pickup coil resistance:
G1 -> G- 140 - 180 Ohms

G2 pickup coil resistance:
G2 -> G- 140 - 180 Ohms

Ne pickup coil resistance:
Ne -> G- 140 - 180 Ohms

If the resistance is not within specification, replace the distributor.
