Timing Gear Cover*New Pics*
Hello........is there a supplier that has new/used timing gear covers......the chrome one on Clyde has a hub that is way to small to fit the Generator.
Thanks in advance Last edited by Chevmn56; 12-09-2017 at 11:02 AM. |

Re: Timing Gear Cover
You could add a spacer or thick washers.

Re: Timing Gear Cover
I have a stack of timing covers. I would sell you one correct for your motor if you call me. 25$ plus shipping.

Re: Timing Gear Cover
Well I finally took the timing cover off, it does not look like a model A cover. The timing hole is in a elongated hub and the timing hole is at the top of the hub, when I lay the new/old timing cover from Berts on the mystery cover the timing marks do not line up at all....nowhere near each other. And the hub for the generator is obviously smaller (See Pics). Since I have the timing cover off I thought I would check the timing marks on the cam and crank gear and make sure they line up.
Welllllll !!!!! the cam gear has the dimple in it but, for the life of me i cannot find the dimple on the crank gear there is one tooth that has 2 small center punch marks in it, but it never lines up with the dimple in the cam gear (I rotated the engine over I bet 6 times) and yes it ran before see video(video is to big and wont load sorry). In all of my readings, in the Red book by Les and the service bulletins and judging standards......it’s all running together now, I thought I read somewhere that the crank timing mark should be the first tooth to the right of the key way?????? Is this correct???????? If so then the marks are good. The crank gear has some sort of lipped washer or something on the face of it so I cannot see anything that may be on the face of it. Thanks again for all your help |

Re: Timing Gear Cover
I run a B distributor with an A cover and would trade if you were interested.

Re: Timing Gear Cover
I wonder if the timing cover has been modified for some reason? The Model A and Model B generators are the same mount.

Re: Timing Gear Cover
Don't worry about the cover lining up when you set the crank gear and cam gear timing marks. BTW your B cover shown will set the timing at 9 or 10 degree advance, so now is the time to install the correct A cover.
Once these 2 are clocked correctly, you install the cover and set the distributor timing by the pin in the cam gear dimple. Here's a picture of the gears in mesh. |
