Yeah it sounds like Paul may have replaced the bearing to housing insulators and the thicker material has moved the shaft back in the housing and you have now lost the clearance you once had?
Good luck with this Wight-biker, Don't forget Richard's excellent tip on getting the timing perfect detailed here: http://www.a7a10.net/forum/index.php/topic,6264.msg43175.html#msg43175
I modified my mag casing and it's soooooo easy to get timing spot on now! Thanks Richard!

Hello folks. Now my lungs are back working, I got the old girl started and despite initial coughing and spitting (both the A10 & Me!) she is now a runner and sounding good. Hope to get out this weekend.  ;)
