I set the points at a snug 0.45mm or a loose 0.40mm… what do you normally set yours at? Happy to open them up… is 0.5mm too wide?
0.5 is admittedly a little wider than the spec of 0.4, however it's worth trying to see if there is an effect on coil temp.I set the points at a snug 0.45mm or a loose 0.40mm… what do you normally set yours at? Happy to open them up… is 0.5mm too wide?
My tongue was firmly in my right cheek, and my left eye was firmly closed, and besides I didn't mean it literally. I just wanted to illustrate another possibility.Bob, your neighbours and mine might not care if we drive around with the horn blaring, but Sven's might!

And if you want to test it properly, you connect up all the horns you can muster, probably about 40 or so?Bob, your tongue might have been in your cheek but I read it as a completely sensible way to draw the voltage down a bit. Just not in Sven's neighbourhood.
It's one of my standard ways to test a battery.

32/36 Is rather big for a low revving 1911.Yeap, second DC.
But that carby is flogged out. Time to go DGV 32/36 and relinquish that antiquated piece of junk to the increasing entropy of the universe.
To repair that thing you need to open the hole, ream it out, press in a bushing, ream that one to the shaft size and get a new shaft. Not hard but delicate work. Would probably cost more than the carby is worth or more than a good s/h 32/36 DGV.
