    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Signal Generator: brushes or not?

Hi to all
1. Does the signal generator (located on the right hand side [inside round cover casing]) have brushes?
I opened the round engine cover and discovered LOOSE strands of wire (supposedly, strands of the brushes) on the signal generator.
2. If it has brushes: is it carbon brushes & how do I install new ones?

Thank you
 
Gold or copper in colour.
Length: between 1-1.5 cm (half - three quarters of an inch).
Thickness was like a strand of hair, or maybe two strands of hair.
 
Wire remnants (hopefully)?- the signal coils work by magnetism- a little metal tab spins by coils and causes an interuption that ignitor senses to fire plugs at right times.
 
My guess would be perhaps someone did some cleaning with a soft brass brush...
