Adjusting the gap using a breaker cam angle gauge
Original posted on the website (www.opelbook.ru)
Connect the meter according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Start the engine, check the value of the breaker cam angle with the device, which should be within 50±3°.
If necessary, adjust the angle of the breaker cam by moving the fixed plate of the contact group, taking into account that the value of the cam angle decreases with an increase in the gap between the contacts and vice versa.
