Ecellente as they say in Italy!

Glad you got it sorted and found the reason why, i haven't forgotten about your earlier request for suppliers of new weights, springs etc to refurb your other dizzy, just got a mental block on the name of them at present! Hopefully it will come to me later and i can find a lnk for you!

Thanks, I’ve done the usual google attack with no luck so far, so anything appreciated. Yes, I can pop a 123 in for a few 00’ euro but pennies too tight to follow that.

Thought I’d just close this with an update. Whilst I’m still looking for distributor counterweights I wanted to get this unit fitted back on the second car so it is able to be started and worked on. A bit of lateral thinking - I mig welded the worn areas on the counterweights and then finished by hand profiling with files. Matched weights and sizes. Refitted and the centrifugal advance works smoothly with no play, no binding. The weights were scrap anyway so nil to lose. Pics here after initial weld and after filing.

Excellent work there! While i remember it, i found the name of the business i was thinking of and checked them out only to find they only do Lucas distributors!

Forgot to post back to let you know though, sorry about that!
