I realy dont want to type this but oh well id best let you all no whats happened.

Left the dizzy drive in!!

I remember reading when trying to find info on the mj that somone had done that, so my thaughts were wot a tosser how stupid do you have to be. Well the answer , as fookin stupid as me.

So, ive removed a shell and nothing seams to be scored, im tempted to clean and put back together, but not sure if its wise to completely rebuild, not sure how far id have to go.

Well Rick

I'm going to give 1 point for finding the fault very quickly, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to take away said point for the obvious error.

But think of the positives?

You've remove some more weight by
a) removing the distributor drive.
b) also by internally machining of the teeth on the cam.

Result..!

Keep up the good work.
