The Pattery voltage should progressively increase tll ik aitains the regulator rating Jue (7.5 Volt approximately), while the chat ge current should progressively decrease till arriving near 1 Amp. approximately (when the battery is entirely charged) If there is ho current output or if the maw mum current is found, the regulator can be defective and therefore it must be replaced, Repeat the tests. IF on the contrary are found figures lawer than those mentioned in. parag. res, check the alternator separately, ‘CHECK OF THE FLYWHEEL ALTERNATOR (see fig. 1 and fg. 2). ELLOWS Vai Disconnect from the regulator the 2 yellow cables and the fed one coming from the alternator, i re to place them withow they touch progressively accelerating pan, in the flywheel alte the vollage between each yellow cable and the ed eable, with a voltmeter for alternate current {having a recti ‘}. The voltage sy found should approsimately sorrespond to 38 to 40 V: if they wer, for the same amount, than the specified one, the rotor could be partially de magnetized a fore it should be remagnetized, cmploying the adequate magnetizer, IE the 1wo voltages are not equilibrated between them, the stator can be defective and therefore ir must be checked, measuring with an Ohmme- ter the continuity among the disconnected cables and the insulation towards carth, making sure, in case, that the stator coils donot show any apparent sign of burn. If one or both the windings result cut off or at the earth, replace the siator and repeat the volinge tests.CHECK OF THE ELECTRONIC REGULATOR (see fig. 3) FLYWHEEL ALTERNATOR ist BATTERY Check how works the tension regulation: install ‘on the test bench the regulator, the pertinent alicrnator, the battery, the ammeter and the volimeter, following the proper scheme. Put the bench in working condition letting the alternator turn at 6,000 f.p.m. approximately: a) With devintor in position «A» (6 to 7): the ammeter will show the charge current which ELECTRONIC REGULATOR 2nd BATTERY can be from I to 10 Amp. according to the battery charge condition; b) With devlator In poslilon « B = (8 V. approx.) he ammeter must show 0 Amp. (closed re: Kor), + If the regulator does not fellow these rules, itis defective and therefore it must be replaced, Repeat the said tests.INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHECKING THE ADVANCE ON DUCATI MOTORCYCLES (Pope 45) For all modéls, the ignition advance check can bbe carried duit according lo the traditional system {3ée instruction books for 250350450 cc), or according to the check by stroboscopic light (iMustrated in detail in the instruction book for the 450 cc}, bearing in mind thai the round reference mark (.) appearing on the cover, clutch side, refers tu the total advance in the models 250 and 350 cc; on the contrary, the linear refe: rence mark (1) refers to the total advance in the 450 cc models, The figures in the following table have bee taken with an opening between the cont! breaker contacts of 3 to..4 mm (.012 10.015 inch).

Springs may be chee! by measuring them free; — if the length is equal to. or less than 5% of the initial measurement, then the spring is still efficient; otherwi is not and must be replaced.
