Bill,
Let me know when you want to do it and I will help. You can get it done on
the bike. A spring hook or needle nose works great.

Subject: loopframe distributor springs
| With a recent mention of distributor springs, I'm reminded that I have a set sitting on the shelf for about a year now that I've never put in.. I recently put on a new chain and tensioner (valtek). I've still got sort of 'wobble' in the timing mark when I put a light on it and throttle up.. so I was thinking I might get on with putting the springs in.. if that has anything to do with it? I assume the ones in there are pretty ancient. Long story short.. it looks like a bit of a challenge.. does one typically remove the distributor to ease getting at those things.. or do it in place.. are there any tricks.. it's a tiny spring(s) and I can see them flying already... thanks in advance...
