worn advance/retard unit?

(1/3) > >>

Still having troubles setting the damn timing , see earlier post, so thought I'd have a good check on everything - the advance/retard unit has what looks to be some wear around the base -I say wear because it looks uneven, eg not machined and is worse on the 1-4 side compared to the 2-3 side - could this be why I have hit and miss success when trying to set up static timing with a test light, no matter how much I adjust points gap. Or am I just clutching at straws! Pics of a new one on DS are not clear.

Not surewhat you mean as there is only 1 cam that operates both 1/4 and 2/3

It's just that the central column seems unevenly worn where the bob weights go in .

Bryanj:
As per Oddjod plus if there is no sideways play between cam and shaft its ok

What are the actual symptoms when trying static timing? I made a mistake once when I didn’t connect the croc clip properly to just the wire and accidentally grounded it.
