I think Bryan did a write up on how to test the charging circuit. Thought it was in Aladins Cave but can't find it. I'm sure Brian will put me right if I'm mistaken.

Looking at the pic John, it looks as though that end plate locks the barrel in place at the bottom, lift the plate and you lift it away from the recess presumably at the bottom and the lock now pulls/slides out. Clever.
Yes, that's right Ken. Normally sat at 6 o'clock. When you use the key to unlock, it moves to 3 o'clock and you can push it in as in my first pic Reply #4.

Hi Ash / Ken. Yes Ash, that’s the end gate. You’re right Ken, not a very good explanation. Bit short of time yesterday so rushed, have more time this morning so I’ve done as Ken suggested.
In this pic you can see the lock gates plus the end gate that holds the barrel in place.

With the key in you can see the lock gates retracted but the end gate doesn’t move.

The shape of the end of the key means the end gate stays in place. You need something more square ended to operate the end gate.

Once the end gate is retracted you can push the barrel out.

Hope this makes sense.

Ash, if you look at your last pic, the NOS one, you can see the end gate. If you had a key and turn the barrel, that is the brass 'clip' that you push across. Without a key you need to lift that from the inside to release the barrel, Once lifted the barrel can be pushed out,
I couldn't really take good pics as I needed three hands, so if you imagine the two pics combined, metal strip lifting the gate and at the same time pushing out the barrel.

Deano.. I can't see any little brass clip in the ones without circlip fitted. Any ideas please?
To see the brass clip / gate you need the key to turn the lock. However, if you haven't got a key, you can lift the end gate with a strip of metal and use a screwdriver to push the barrel out. I'll try and post some pics later.

Pretty sure that will foul the tank - worth seeing then if it catches - the top of the flat steel section needs to be almost flush with the top of the mountings iirc.
Update: Just read it clears so great! 😁
Looking at your picture you have the yellow wire for cylinders 2 & 3 on the left - thats fine if you have the HT leads accordingly I believe convention is Blue on the left for 1 & 4.
I've only ever seen Blue on the right, 1 & 4 Ted.

Ken / Diego. What are your thoughts on this? Something in the back of my mind from 40+ years ago to do with an overtightened cam chain. Done by loosening the lock bolt and using a screwdriver down the top hole to push the rod down. Maybe take it with a pinch of salt as my memory is terrible, as you know Ken.

The 400 tended to get white marks and the 500/550 black ones. Those are really clear John. Can't mistake those.
The 400s are hard enough to see after 40 years, I guess the 500/550 must be nigh on impossible,
