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

If the gap is not as specified, 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- 180 - 220 Ohms

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the distributor.
