I've just built a new home for my 900e and 500 so I have to move the bigger lump from its temporary home. So I'm messing about with the points as a complete novice to this engine. No big deal because it will be ages before the car moves properly, but noticed it has mis-matched advance springs; is this normal?
Whilst I'm asking, how do you remove the advance mechanism and should it be possible to pull it quite a bit upwards although it doesn't come off?
It looks like the ancillaries to the engine have been as bodged and neglected as the rest of the vehicle judging by the poorly retrofitted cables and terminals, nipped cables and general grot.(n)
