Timing Issue

[fixkick]

the 96 rotor does not fit the  older engine, the JR144 is yours.

not to scare you but China now sells cams with no rear cam gear. (suzuki never did this)

so the shop must get gear pressed back on right or all hell to  pay timing the distributor. 1/2 tooth off OH BOY.

Thank you for your help!

I'll check these things out at first opportunity.
The cheap rotor was on the vehicle when I got it.
I'll see if I can find a real one.

sorry if they did that to you,  the C4 magic 3 way rotor very sorry.  it can work if set right,.  brass tip opposite to long flat side.
the CMP inside is timed to the short flat. spark fires there. 

the way to do this is to use white paint mark, and mark the base of rim top for rotor 1 firing point. rotor set right.

if these aligned, and rotor not wrong spark can happen here, at #1 firing. the hidden CMP  tone wheel inside will be right only if Rotor FLATS are correct.
the distrib fires every 90degree's the tip is tri-sected, if set wrong, flat, that is off 1/3 of 90deg. or 30degree spark error.  huge error and cause the brass tip to fire that far off.  ouch.








there is a way to prove all this with 1 LED + 510ohm resistor and 12vdc battery to the CMP HALL 3 pins, (ground, 12vdc and output) Led on output. (ask for wiring setups)
seen here on my 8v but works both distributors.  ( best is to use the white marks for true #1 cap firing then see if CMP agrees if not rotor no good or fits 3 ways , 2ways wrong.
