INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR SINGLE AND DUAL IGNITION SYSTEMS

Step 1

Rotate the engine to top dead center (TDC), #1 cylinder on

compression stroke. Remove the magneto cap. Position the

magneto in the engine with the rotor pointed toward the

desired #1 plug wire position. CAUTION: BE SURE THE

MAGNETO IS FULLY SEATED. Set the distributor hold

down clamp in place but do not tighten at this time.

SPRINTMAG

, SPRINTMAG

II and SPRINTMAG

III:

Be sure the magneto pointer aligns with (zero) on the timing

plate on the generator. Also, be sure the band clamp is tight.

SUPER-MAG

II, III, AND IV, LEFT-HAND ROTATION:

Be sure the magneto pointer aligns with the left side edge

of the timing plate on the generator. Also, be sure the band

clamp is tight.

SUPER-MAG

II, III, AND IV, RIGHT-HAND ROTATION:

Be sure the magneto pointer aligns with the right-side edge

of the timing plate on the generator. Also, be sure the band

clamp is tight.

Step 2

Static Timing (TDC Method)

Connect the static timer (buzz box) to the generator (see

Figures 1 and 2). Turn static timer ON. If the buzzer begins

sounding, turn the magneto in either direction until the

buzzer is silent.

LEFT-HAND ROTATION: While the buzzer is silent, hold the

rotor clockwise and slowly turn the magneto counterclockwise.

Stop turning the magneto when the buzzer begins sounding.

Tighten the distributor hold-down clamp.

RIGHT-HAND ROTATION: While the buzzer is silent, hold

the rotor counterclockwise and slowly turn the magneto

clockwise. Stop turning the magneto when the buzzer

begins sounding. Tighten the distributor hold-down clamp.

Step 3

Make a mark on the generator below the rotor. Install the

magneto cap. The post on the magneto cap over the mark

made on the generator is # 1 cylinder. Install the spark plug

wires in the sequence of the firing order.

Step 4

SET TIMING. Loosen the band clamp.

SPRINTMAG

AND SPRINTMAG

II: Turn the generator

to align the pointer and timing plate to the desired initial

timing. Tighten the band clamp.

SPRINTMAG

III: Rotate crank hub to align with timing

mark and pointer. Use static timing method to set timing.

Recheck timing with timing light above 3500 RPM. By

leaving the pointer on "0", the timing may be reset without

the use of a timing light. To reset timing, loosen the band

clamp and rotate the generator housing.

SUPER-MAG

II, III, IV: Turn the generator to align the

pointer and timing plate to the desired initial timing. Each

mark on the timing plate is 2 degrees. Tighten the band clamp.

NOTE: Timing may be checked with most timing lights

after installation is completed.

Step 5

WIRING PROCEDURE

Connect long harness to the generator. Refer to WIRING

DIAGRAMS on pages 2 and 3 for all additional wiring.

GENERAL INFORMATION • Closely monitor spark plugs and spark plug gaps for maximum performance. Set spark plug gaps at .018" to .022". • 16AWG/600V or larger wire must be used on all additional wiring. All grounds must be made to the engine block. Do not ground to chassis or anodized surfaces. WARNING • A KILL SWITCH MUST BE USED TO STOP THE ENGINE FROM RUNNING. • NEVER CONNECT ANY PART OF THIS IGNITION TO 12 VOLTS. • Disconnect and remove generator before arc welding on the vehicle.
