Distributor end float KV
Hey troops
still chasing a regular flat spot on E-Lad My distributor has about 3mm of endfloat but very little side float The rotor arm must be getting pushed upwards as this spins up and the shaft turns faster Anybody aware of what it should be? I'm reluctant just to fire the parts cannon on this one |

A little end float is normal, though 3mm does seem like quite a lot but shouldn't be enough to upset the hall sender. Side to side play should be minimal.

Then it will spin up to the "correct" position when you are encountering the flat spot. If it cures it at speed, then look to replace or repair the dizzy. Woudl it be possible to use washers to remove that float?
