Maybe I'm having a stroke or something.
I'm rebuilding a distributor from a 1.8 liter engine for a Weber conversion project. I've done this before for the D-Jet model with trigger points and didn't have difficulty. But for whatever reason, I can't seem to yank out the two points plates as a unit. The top plate can be pulled, but not the bottom one. All of the screws are out. So am I just being dense here or am I missing something? Additionally, does anyone have any master genius plans on how to remove the metal circlip from the depths of the middle shaft? Thanks, Marcus  |

I think there's a pin you need to press out at the bottom of the shaft ... in the wobbly part that engages the slot in the dizzy drive gear

Try turning the plate to disengage the lower plate. The circlip inside the cam, sometimes it will come out with a sudden force applied to it or use a bigger hammer Best of luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
