f. Adjusting Circuit Breaker Points ([fig. 51]).
(1) Correct point gap is 0.022 inch. Circuit breaker point faces must seat squarely against each other. If bent, square up and aline by bending contact plate. Turn timer breaker cam until breaker lever fiber is located on highest point of cam.
(2) With the adjustable point lock screws loose, shift the adjustable point plate to obtain a 0.022–inch gap between the circuit breaker points. Measure gap with an accurate thickness gage before retightening lock screws, and again recheck point gap after tightening the lock screws. NOTE: Wrong circuit breaker point gap affects ignition timing.
85. CONDENSER.
a. The condenser is connected in parallel with the circuit breaker points, one of its terminals being grounded (for the adjustable point) to the timer base by means of the mounting screw, the other terminal making connection with the circuit breaker lever (for the lever point) by means of the lever “pig‐tail.”
b. Remove.
(1) Unlatch circuit breaker cover retainer and remove cover.
(2) Remove nut from end of condenser and remove gear‐toothed washer, plain washer, and the brass terminal strip. NOTE: A small plain washer and a large fiber washer are located behind brass terminal strip.
(3) Remove screw which secures condenser to timer base. Remove condenser.
