Dizzy Shaft Free Play

[cinky]

doubting checking that my motor is in good nic before it gets pulled and i noticed that the dizzy shaft has a bit of play, twisting motion. some of it is comjng from an ill fitting rotor buttom but there is some on the shaft it self. ripped of the cam cover to find it not to constantly messhing with gear on the cam. is the way its supposed to be. ive got to replace the oil seal in the dizzy so want to do both at the same time.

Normally have a small amount of play, how excessive is it?

[cinky]

not too excesive how ever when mixed with ther rotor button it causes around 4 mm at the end of the rotor so whether or not this has an effect when arcing I'm not exactly sure

Sounds like a bit much, It could be stuffed bushes allowing a bit of end float letting the dizzy shaft move in and out on the crosscut teeth of the cam. Does the dizzy have much end float?

[cinky]

no its as stiff as john holmes only the rotation free play. do you know wher to get the oil seal at the back of the dizzy? did u mention a while ago you could do a rwd 4age loom?

[beerhead]

Yeah all 4AGE Looms are an easy to mod for RWD, can guide you or help or mod a loom to make it as PNP as possible.

[cinky]
