Grumpy I've had yet another read of the manual just to check that I had installed the cam correctly it says Note: "In reassembly, make sure the smaller end of the flyweight is on the key-way side of the crankshaft" and I thought I didn't notice that NOTE last time so pulled it apart again and I had Installed CORRECTLY I was hoping it was wrong then I would have something to fix.
just to make sure top dead center is when the points are open at the fullest point when you rotate the crankshaft, is that correct ?
Ok I may have made a booboo when setting the points the manual says this.
BREAKER POINT ADJUSTMENT NOTE
To check or adjust point gap, place spark
advance cam only. on crankshaft. Check
and adjust points as described.
(I had the key weight assembled when i set the points)
BREAKER POINT ADJUSTMENT D-400 SERIES
To check point gap .020, rotate crankshaft until wear block is centered on lobe of cam. MOVE CRANKSHAFT TOWARD CARBURETOR AND HOLD IN THAT POSITION
( I don't understand the bit that is underlined)
when I moved the cam so that the wear block was centered on the lobe of the cam, the hole for the key weight didn't line up with the hole on the cam so i rotated the shaft only until the hole lined up.
Is that what i was supposed to do ?
and then i should reassemble the key weight etc.
the yoke and weights have got a got detailed assembly in the manual except for one thing the 2 key weights have one thick arm and one thin arm. the thick arm sits on the outside of the governor collar but the thin arms sit on the inside. does this sound right because then the 2 thin arms would be touching the crankshaft.
I think that's enough for you to deal with for now.
thanks again
Pete
Edit
I will have a look at the seals and check for leaks
