1.2 / 1.3 - dizzy dog drive pin removal

[jimbob-mcgrew]

how the hell do you get this bugger out ?

ive tried hitting it repeatedly, wont budge an inch.

im failing massively with a g-clamp, trying to press the pin out, and everything falling on the floor continually. need an extra 4 hands for that one i think.

any advice ?

Why do you need to remove it? Are the bearings shot? If so you are better off trying to find a replacement dizzy, plenty on eBay.

trying to fix an issue with the advance/retard mechanism, plus its choked up with dried oil, and could do with a thorough clean.

cant afford a new one.

[jimbob-mcgrew]

i cant find any on ebay

[Dave A]

So you couldn't find this one?

the first ones for a 1.4, and the seconds ones not compatible with carb cars

might be able to get a 1.4 working if i removed the ball bearing thing from the end of the cam, but not sure if it comes out.

ive given up trying to get the drive dog out, the end is slowly get mashed up. it doesnt wanna come out, so ill leave it be.

they do come out

[jimbob-mcgrew]

does it do anything andy ?

will the 1.4 dizzy fit in the 1.2 cam and work ok ? (it has both a slot and a pin)

how do you get the ball out too ?
