1    Let engine cool down to below + 20 °C. Check whether choke valve (147) is completely closed and has lateral clearance. (Below + 20 °C the choke valve should be completely closed).

2    Remove air filter, pull cable from choke cover heater so that choke valve is not completely opening during the following voltage measurements.

3   Check battery for external condition (visual checkup). Check battery poles for oxidation.

4   Test voltages on battery.

Connect voltmeter to battery plus and minus pole, read voltage.

Nominal value: min. 12.2 volts

Pull high-voltage ignition cable 4 out of distributor cover and connect to ground. Operate starting motor while reading voltage.

Nominal value: min. 10 volts

2   Pre-resistor 0.4 ohm

3   Pre-resistor 0.6 ohm

4   Ignition coil

5   Standard switchgear

6   Ignition distributor

7   Diagnosis plug

5   Test voltages at ignition coil.

a)  With breaker contact closed at terminal 15 and terminal 1:

Nominal values Terminal 15, 3.6—4.6 volts Terminal 1, 0.7—1.5 volts

b)  With breaker contact opened at terminal 15 and terminal 1:

Nominal values: Terminal 15 and terminal 1 should be energized by battery voltage.

6   Measure voltage at pre-resistor 0.4 ohm while starting (pre-resistor bridge-over).

Nominal value: min. 9.6 volts

7    Insert high-voltage ignition cable 4 again into distributor cover.

8 Check choke cover preload. Markings (arrow) should be opposite each other.

9 Remove TN choke after loosening fastening screws (arrow) together with coolant hoses.

10   Measure control window opening “a” exposed by control piston with slide gauge.

Nominal values: At + 20 °C approx. 2.5 mm.

At approx. 0 °C control window should be completely open.

11    Install TN choke and air filter.

12   Check warming-up total mixture without air in­jection and EGR, adjust. For this purpose, connect CO measuring instrument and make air injection in­operative as described below (for (©> 1973/74 noth­ing need be made inoperative):

Pull off blue/purple vacuum line at connecting point (arrow).

T) 1976, model 114

Pull rubber cap (arrow) from blue/purple vacuum line.

T) 1976, model 116

Pull rubber cap (arrow) from blue/purple vacuum line.

07.2.2 la-128/4

Pull off red vacuum line at connecting point (arrow).

<©) 1975/76

Pull off blue/purple vacuum line at connecting point (arrow).

Start engine and rapidly depress accelerator upon firing.

Engage driving position for automatic transmission, permit CO value to come to rest and read. (If devia­tions from tolerance value are high, stop engine im­mediately, change choke valve gap accordingly and repeat CO test).

07.2.2 la-128/5

Again plug-on vacuum hoses for air injection and EGR (air injection with EGR operative).

13   Again plug-on cable for choke cover heater.

14   Test regulating voltage of alternator.

Note: Prior to testing regulating voltage, check acid density of battery. If acid density (state of charge) of battery is lower than 1.24 kg/dm³ in tropical countries, a defective transistor regulator (full regulation) is no longer recognized.

Engine speed: 3000/min

Battery load: Compulsory consumer only (ignition) Regulating voltage measured after approx. two minu­tes: 13.0-14.5 volts.
