R.
Place a new
control
plate
(61, Fig. 2) on the bearing
bracket
(34)
with
adj
usting
screws
(62)
at the top. Turn in
the screws
until about 3/8" of
the screw
remains.
Have both
screws
turned in
evenly
so
the other P.nd of the control plate
rests
squarely
on
the
extensions of the bearing bracket.

control
plate spring
to the
hook on the bottom part of the control
plate.

connect
with connector
(57).
Connect the two black wires,
one fro
m
resistor
and the other from the control plate, and
lo
ck
them in
place with
connector
( 40). Use a connector ( 40)

connect
the
two
green
wires.
NOTE: Leave the control unit. It is now ready for timing
but
a
better job

SECTION
4
REPAIRS TO GEAR CASE AND PLANETARY
A.
Examine
the brass bearings in the attachment hub
and
the
roof of the gear case. These bearings are
cast
in
the housing.
If
they
are
worn badly, the
entire
housing must be replaced.
However,
shafts
turn slowly in these bearings
and the
bearings have a long life.
B. Examine the attachment hub
(23
tooth)
bevel
gear
(14,
Fig. 1
).
If it shows wear in
the
teeth,
it
should be replaced.
To replace the bevel
gear,
coat the
shaft with a
film
of good
oil. Push it into the attachment hub
bearing from
inside
the
gear case. It does not
have
a washer
so push
it
in as far as
it
will go.
