CONT

Le réglage de l'allumage par rupteur sur un 2T a pour but d'obtenir à la bougie une étincelle de bonne qualité à chaque tour de vilebrequin. Pour cela il faut que les contacts du rupteur soient bien réglés et que leur ouverture s'effectue au bon moment, c'est à dire légerement avant le point mort haut (PMH), c'est ce qu'on appelle l'avance à l'allumage.
