Take a look
at some of the equipment we use in our workshop for magneto servicing
and overhauls.
Check the cam surface. If it has any unusual marks, try to work out what
caused them and whether anything should/could be done about them.
Manual
advance/retard versions:
Remove the cam, carefully noting which way round it
goes and which notches in it engage where.
If there is a lubricating felt,
soak it in oil.
If there is a groove where a lubricating felt should be, but
is missing, consider making and fitting a replacement.
Disassemble the
advance/retard mechanism carefully noting which part goes where. Check for
wear and replace any worn parts. Grease. Reassemble and check operation.
Put
a smear of grease on the surface of the cam that engages its housing.
Replace the cam, ensuring that the notches in it engage as before (e.g. with
a fixed register in the cam housing and with the advance/retard actuator).
Check that the advance/retard mechanism reliably rotates the cam back and
forth.
