On more than one motor I’ve had to bend the follower outwards to get the link n synch set properly. It seems they got bent inwards somehow sometime in the past. As for idling between the dots, which are synchronizing indicators, I don’t know if any of them do after sixty years but I do have an ugly old TN which idles right down with the speed lever positioned far to the left. I think it’s like the speed indicator band on tiller motors, more of a decoration than a functional part. As long as the motor makes full power and idles slow, so be it.
