Removing
- Disconnect the wire from the negative battery terminal.
- Remove the air filter.
- Disconnect the high voltage wires from the ignition distributor (pic. 9.16).

Warning. When disconnecting high-voltage wires, pull on the end of the wire, not on the wire itself.
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition distributor.
- Turn out screws and remove the distributor of ignition and a sealing ring.
Disassembly
- Turn out two screws and remove a cover of the distributor of ignition (pic. 9.17).

- Pull to remove the ignition distributor rotor.
- Remove the protective cover.
- Turn out bolts and remove the case of the distributor of ignition and a sealing ring.
Examination
- Clean the ignition distributor parts with clean kerosene and dry them.
- Check the condition of the breaker contacts. Check the ignition distributor cap for corrosion and burnt electrodes. Check the smoothness of the movement of the carbon contact and the amount of its protrusion.
- If there is burnt contact of the distributor rotor, replace the distributor rotor.
- Check for cracks on the cover.
Assembly
- Assembly is carried out in the reverse order of disassembly.
Installation
- Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
- Remove the upper timing belt cover.
- Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the alignment marks on the camshaft pulley and cylinder head are aligned (pic. 9.18).
Pic. 9.18. Alignment of alignment marks on the camshaft pulley and cylinder head
Note. When the alignment marks on the camshaft pulley and the cylinder head are aligned, the piston of the 1st cylinder will be at TDC on the compression stroke.
- Align the alignment marks on the ignition distributor and clutch and install the ignition distributor on the engine (pic. 9.19).
Pic. 9.19. Alignment of the alignment marks on the ignition distributor and the clutch
- Connect the high voltage wires and electrical connector to the ignition distributor.
- Install the air filter.
- Check and adjust the ignition timing.
