is it missing?

  1. i noticed yesterday when splitting the crankcase on my old knackered engine that there is a tiny spring in the center of the distributor drive bit.. (down the hole you put the distibutor in..)
    now im pretty certain when i put the dizzy in my new engine, that spring isnt there..
    could that spring being missing cause problems?

    Yes. Without it the drive can jump about a bit and if there's up/down play it the distributor (pull on the rotor arm) that'll jump about as well.
     
  3. thanks zed! i will be fixing that problem asap then!

    is it a case of just taking the spring out of the other one, and sticking it in the new one,
    or is it more complicated?
