Not illustrated. 1909 Excerpt: ...the time of ignition in different cylinders.") If the misfiring does not occur in all the cylinders, then: Examine the timer contacts for the cylinder that misfires; Apply the spark-plug test as in the preceding section. 154. Test of High-Tension Magneto Ignition System.--Shortcircuit the spark plugs, one at a time or in pairs, as in the preceding section, to locate the misfiring. If the misfiring is general, examine the magneto, especially the moving contacts, screw fastenings, and the connections. (See magneto test.) If the misfiring is confined to only a portion of the cylinders, apply the spark-plug test. (See individual induction-coil system.) (Also see 'comparing the time of ignition in different cylinders. ") 155. Test of Low-Tension Arc-Ignition System.--This test applies more especially when the electric generator is of the rotary type, but will also answer for the oscillating magneto generator. Cut out the ignition from the cylinders successively to find which is misfiring. This can be done by opening the switches near the ignition plugs, or by disconnecting the wires at the plugs. If the misfiring is general, then: Examine the generator for worn or loose brushes, commutator worn out of round, dirt on the commutator, loose connections, etc. (See electric-generator test); Clean the spark plugs; adjust the contacts to bring fresh parts together; Examine the spark plugs for weak springs and worn parts. (Also see "comparing the time of ignition in different cylinders.") If the misfiring is in only one cylinder, then make the tests just given, but reserve the examination of the generator till the last. 156. Test of Magneto Direct-Current Electric Generator.--The following tests can be applied without the aid of much apparatus in cas...
