Layout of Engine and its Functioning
 
Electrical Equipment
Electronic Magneto
This magneto consists of pick up coil on stator plate assembly in place of C.B Point and condensor, extended poles on Rotor and C.D.I Unit.
Pick Up Coil
Pick up coil is a transducer which converts angular position of flywheel rotor into electrical pulse. Pick up coil sends a pulse to the gate of S.C.R in C.D.I. unit when it comes in front of extended poles while rotating.
Extended poles on rotor
Extended poles in an electronic system are used to energise the magnetic pick up coil. This happens at a particular angular position on flywheel rotor, so this way it works like the cam of normal system/
C.D.I. Unit (Capacitor/Discharge Ignition Unit)
C.D.I. Unit contains different types of electronic components, like S.C.R (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) P.N. Junction diode and condensor, on receiving signal pulse from pick up coil, SCR starts acting like switch and the condensor which was charged by source coil, discharges into the H.T. Coil.
 
Timing Setting with Timing Light (Stroboscopic Gun)
The timing once set, will not later in Electronic type Ignition System. If ignition timing is found to be not correct check the CDI unit and magento and replace any faulty part
 
Checking of Timing Setting with Stroboscopic Gun
a) Remove the magneto cowl
b) Connect timing gun
1. Circuit Diagram of AC Type stroboscopic Gun
2. Circuit Diagram of DC Type Stroboscopic
c) Timing is correct if the index mark on the magneto flange aligns the timing mark (arrow on the rotor within 3° at 1200 rpm
d) If index mark is not aligning with timing mark, remove flywheel rotor and adjust stator plate accordingly, to get correct Ignition timing.
 
In case there is no index mark either on flywheel or magneto flange, remove cylinder head and assemble the dial gauge with its bracket tool No.57988 for GP150 and 68186 for GP200 at the cylinder top, take the piston at TDC Position. Set the dial at 'O' Rotate the flywheel in anticlock direction slowly. When the dial shows the reading 1.75mm corresponding 18° BTDC, mark the position at flange. A MARK is at the window of flywheel and a white line mark is at pickup coil. Align both he mark at this position. Rotate the flywheel further when he dial shows the reading 2.9mm corresponding 23° BTDC, mark this second position also at flange.
While checking the timing with gun-
The first mark of magneto flange should align with rotar index mark at idling rpm and at the rmp of 3000 and above, the second mark should coincide. If it is not so adjust the stator plate.
Trouble Shooting
It is advised while rectifying the fault of this magnet, Machanic should have service CDI Unit and pick up coil. In the eventuality of spark not coming on spark plug, after checking plug and H.T. Coil, CDI Unit should be checked with the service CDI Unit. If no improvement the Pick up Coil should be checked with service pick up coil. Similarly the same is applicable for the checking of source coil. Service source coil may be used to check and replace faulty source coil.
For pick up one of the possible cause is CDI Unit.
Precaution
Never earth the output of CDI Unit (i.e. violet wire) while engine is running. It may damage CDI Unit.

Assembly Tolerances and Wear Limits

 

Note: The prescribed roughness is obtained as follows:
1. Bore 0.05 to 0.07 mm undersize.
2. Fisnish by honing with abrasive nr. 180
3. Spread a mixture of emery nr.80 and petroleum on the inside surface of Cylinder and keep passing up and down with helical movement a piston of the same nominal diameter as cylinder until piston is moving free-use an old piston without rings. Fit on it a connecting rod as handle.
4. Wash out very carefully cylinder and ports with pressure water. Immediately after plunge cylinder in petroleum.
