Speed Sensor Clearance

NOTE: Adjusting speed sensor automatically adjusts reference mark sensor. They cannot be adjusted separately.
  1. The speed sensor bracket is mounted on the crankcase flange with 2 bolts. To adjust clearance, loosen bolts and turn sensor holder. Clearance should be 0.030 - 0.034" (.75-.85 mm).
  2. To adjust clearance with engine installed in vehicle, remove speed sensor. Using a depth gauge, measure distance from sensor holder's upper surface to tooth head on starter ring gear.
  3. Measure length of speed sensor. Subtract speed sensor length from holder-to-flywheel tooth distance. Difference should be 0.030 - 0.034" (.75-.85 mm).
  4. If not to specification, loosen screws and turn holder until holder-to-flywheel tooth distance is equal to the length of the sensor plus the specified clearance. Tighten screws, and install speed sensor in holder.
