    The manual is your friend! Mine says my distributor clamp uses a 1/4" BSF x 1 5/8" bolt....
  2. johny
    Realised now that my online manual does show the plug in this cross section drawing but perhaps it gets painted once installed on the rack so isnt easily seen. Also being only a push fit I cant imagine that it actually does very much...
  3. johny
    I dont think there is a pin and its the nylon plug that is the damper to stop rattle from the rack shaft. Looks like it just taps in a hole in the outer case and is held in place by the rack mount...
  4. johny
    So whats the pin thats been mentioned?
  5. johny
    oh no I see, theres a sleeve bush 128002 in the nearside end of the rack tube but my manual says nothing about changing it and I imagine it means a complete rack strip down...
  6. johny
    Where does the pin go? The plug, as I understand it, is a guide come damper for the rack and when worn shows as play where the rack exits the outer casing at its nearside end...

    Totally lost on this one as Petes 128001 shows as a collar on the pinion at Canleys. Is it 145108 Nylon plug which they do have in stock but which strangely doesnt appear in many of the steering rack diagrams of the various models? I looked for this on a Vitesse rack many years ago and couldnt find it so presumed it was internal and got a complete recon one instead...

    Dont remember it being a nice job but then I probably didnt have the right technique. They dont seem to last five minutes and I see they now do rather expensive poly bushes...
  9. johny
    yes youve already proved with the strobe the spark comes at the right time relative to the position of the piston so thats not the problem...
  10. johny
    otherwise theres a few complete boot lids with brackets intact on ebay...

    My new pads and discs still not fully bedded in after 1000 miles but then maybe thats my style of driving...
  12. johny
    I think another look at the front brakes is in order just to check everythings tight and correct. Did the pads have their anti-squeal shims and a dab of coppaslip? I know this is generally for noise on braking but may help in normal running especially until the pads bed fully....

    If youre confident all other adjustments are correct how do the carbs respond to their mixture test plungers being operated? Is the result exactly the same on both?
  14. johny
    yes should be movement due to compression of the rubber rather than play. Manual says there should be a gap of 1/8" between each clamp and the corresponding rack locating plate...
  15. johny
    There is some adjustment in the u clamps and as the rubber bushes wear it would be worth carrying out the procedure as described in the manual. Of course rubber is always going to allow some movement and thats why solid aluminium replacements are sold for those drivers that want a more positive feel...

    I can understand with a duplex sprocket as the mounting face has to be offset or it really will be a lump...
  17. johny
    Interesting...
  18. johny
    Pretty limited Dave. The valve seat might bed in a bit over time, the float arm bend a little with constantly operating the valve or its pivot wear some but otherwise there shouldnt be much change...
  19. johny
    you could be right if the cam sprocket cant be flipped then youre limited to only a half tooth of adjustment...
  20. johny
    Ha yes we can do it but the manufacturers dont make their LED just for us - wouldnt be very profitable if they did!
  21. johny
    yes but some people just want to buy a bulb and plug it in. They wouldnt know what a multimeter was and anyway in some bulb holders youd have a job to get the prods in or risk shorting the contacts if you did. The manufacturers have to cater for the lowest level customer and as we know that can be pretty low😂
  22. johny
    yes thats correct IF you dont reset the float to its 18mm, something which I think is essential as it affects the operation of the jet...
  23. johny
    The washers shouldnt affect fuel level as that is set by adjusting the float to 18mm as per the manual...
  24. johny
    To be fair though, surely if youre replacing an incandescent bulb sometimes theres no easy way to know the correct orientation for a LED in an existing holder...
  25. johny
    yes got to be adjusted on cam sprocket but if you want half a tooth on the crank (to get TDC and cam rocking position) thats only a quarter tooth on the cam because it goes round half as fast. Then of course theres no problem moving the cam sprocket this amount because the offset mounting holes plus the option of using either face allows just that👍 As you say if you want any finer adjustment its got to be an expensive vernier jobbie...
