Reply To: Back To The No Spark Issue

[John Gragg]

Joe,

Sorry – Did it again.

Monkey Wards ’49 5hp.

Both keyways (rotor and flywheel) in place on the crank. I thought I read the description in the parts book, but looking at it again it is simply called an oiler assembly. Thanks.

After sending the message out I put the plate back on and seated in down on the crank fully. Tightened it down (learning here) and realized it has to move for advance/retard, so I loosened it up a bit. Cleaned up the crank and rotor and put the rotor in place. It fits just fine, no interference with the oiler.

My guess? At one time the plate was loose enough to cause the scarring but fixed soon after? Can’t be sure, but that is my guess for now. I would think there would be much more damage to the oiler if it had been that way for a long time.

Thanks for the advice – Gonna keep plugging tomorrow.

Best Regards,
