I have removed the dizzy and mechanical fuel pump.

I have a plug for the dizzy hole and a block-off plate for the fuel pump hole.

Is there anything else I need to remove from the holes before I block them off? I thought I had read somewhere that I need to remove a gear or spacer or something from the dizzy drive?

If I need to get something else out, do I need special tools?

what are you doing?? cleaning?
yeah you need a special tool to remore the dizzy drive sharf

What am I doing ......

Thanks

Steve,
You should be able to remove the dizzy drive with a good set of flat nose external circlip pliers, turn the gear as you remove it, don't forget the 2 small washers on the end if the gear they usually stay in the case, use a magnet to get them out.

we've got the tool if you need it Steve

That'd be great, Daimo.

I'm off for the rest of the week (till Sunday).

Thanks Dave,

I hear that if the shims/washers fall back in they can drop right down into the case, resulting in a complete tear-down.

yes the shaft and shims other wise they will jam up in the cam gear

I bet you will be glad to see the back of that huge dizzy .

I'll be glad to see the end of the carbies.

The improvement the big dizzy and twin ignition made is remarkable.

Thanks for all the tips.
