On the way to (and back from!) the post office today, the old girl was farting and popping like a good 'un.
Ah, timing has slipped, thinks I.
5 minute job............................er......................
Vernier control seized solid. Points gap 0.0000001 inch...........................
Out with the dizzy. Clamp seized also and rotor "Dry'z a bone". This had caused wear on the contact heel and hence the narrow (almost non existent) gap.
Anyway, clamp and vernier freed off with Plus Gas, rotor lubricated with semi - liquid grease, points re - set to 15 thou, dizzy reinstalled and re - timed.
Runs like a burglar now. (swift and silent)
5 minute job took an hour and a half......................
So interested with the bodywork I completely ignored the most basic mechanical things! Tomorrow the carburettor and a new set of plugs!!
