39 helmet distributor no spark
Hello, have a 39 flathead with a helmet distributor, no spark. On inspection, I noticed a gap if roughly 3/8" between coil, and rotor.
Seems wrong to me. I attached a picture showing the gap. |

The carbon brush must touch the rotor, sometimes they get stuck in the spring.
