magnetic booster or electronic ignition.
Causes for incorrect values:
•
Interrupted wiring.
•
Wrong air gap.
•
Defective sensor.
•
Clean the sensor or the phonic wheel.
•
Defective ignition.

Defective coil.
Check of magnetic boosters
•
Disconnect the booster connection cable.
•
Connect a pole to the cable to the volt red clamp (13) after the grounding of the
other pole by means of the cable on issue with the Timing Light (19)
(see picture d).
•
