a. On Charade models, carefully remove distributor gasket then igniter. On Rocky models, remove wire from signal generator. Do not damage
wires.
b. Loosen signal generator attaching screws.
c. Adjust air gap between signal generator and signal rotor to specifications, then tighten attaching screws and recheck air gap.
