Hi Guys
Was planning on putting up some pics of the bikes and still will in my other post but need some answers regarding the timing gears below.
I sent my “Magneto” if that’s the correct term to Trevor Probert in NSW to be checked and overhauled, he found the Armature is in good condition but the windings on the casings had to be redone.
During the process Trevor found he was unable to remove the gear from the bottom of the Distributor so he sent it and the mating Drive back to me and I removed it – but we noticed significant wear in both gears and on checking the Armature Drive gear is also very worn along with the idler gear from the timing gear train.
After some searching with varying results – in that I found some gears listed, mostly on Ebay but with different number of teeth, also found that there was a couple of spare ‘Magneto’ in my box of bits one complete with armature and prior to the gears arriving back to me I remove the Distributor drive gear thinking I’d had a win only to find it was 4 teeth and not 6 as per the one I have considered original?
Anyway – a bit long winded but I am thinking I really need to know what the correct gears I should be using and if they are available anywhere?
Hoping someone here can help?
