I am having trouble trying to locate the distributor so that the rotor arm turns properly.
From what I can tell, I have to:
It almost feels like it is not quite long enough and only a mm or two of the teeth are engaged (sorry to be so vague).
I did wonder if the locking bracket could go the other way up – but I don’t think that is the issue.
I did wonder if the locking bracket could go higher up the distributor shaft: but that doesn’t look possible.
I did wonder if I am missing any part e.g. the coupling just seems to sit on top of the lower parts of the distributor driver and maybe there is something that holds it in place..
Any ideas what I have done wrong?
p.s. you can see a thin spring on the tail of the distributor, and i can't understand what its purpose is
From what I can tell, I have to:
- Insert the coupling (549611) and place that correctly with its offset teeth sitting nicely in the driver below.
- Insert the distributor so that the dog on the end with its offset teeth sit correctly in the coupling.
- Position/turn the distributor so that (hopefully) we have approximately the right timing.
- Tighten up the bolt on the bracket and the adjusting bolt.
