Timing of the K-Jet B20F 200 1975

posted by  someone claiming to be Jorn on  Tue Oct 7 22:15 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Timing should be checked with vac hose disconnected. Given the age you might want to check everthing is operating as it should in the distributer. Pull vac on the hose with the cap off an see if it moves the timing, also check for leaks in the membrane.

Timing differs per engine type/size etc, find the correct figure for your car from manuals etc.

I assume it has mechanical speed advance/retard as well. The shaft can seize preventing the swing weights from moving. The distribution arm should rotate 10-20 deg when and then jump back. Also with the timinglight connected you should see a change in timing when you rev the engine (vac hose disconnected!).

If you are technically confident, you best of removing the whole thing, take it apart, clean and lub it and put it back. Be carefull not to bend and twist things, it is a little delicate.
