no one knows this? or how to adjust the gap...my flywheel also has a weight on it. i assume for balancing. is this where the gap is measured,seeing how the puylse generator is in line with it.

thanks muddy mess. i was able to find that info. i was looking for the gap between the flywheel and pulse generator pick-up.

the ohms of resistance are within factory specs.

nbot sure what you mean. but if it comes back to my flywheel key possibly being sheared then maybe.

i will get an exact measurement and repost.

86quadr you are always very helpful. thanks.

i too have looked at the service manual and cannot find any specs as to what the gap should be @the p/u coil.

what i meant by turned i mean lightened. i have seen flywheels that at some point been shade tree lightened and the pickup tab be cut also. :rolleyes:
