I wondered if the issue could be related to it not operating beyond idle (perhaps not advancing). I also fitted a positive 6v Dyanamator over the winter period which does not appear to be operating, but I doubt this is related. For info it has Austin gears on both ends, but the Ign light stays on and Amp Gauge shows slight drain. I have spoken to Tony at Accuspark and on his advice have re checked wiring twice but no change. Until I can get the engine issue sorted however I cannot positively prove it to be good or otherwise!
Check the plate on the attached to the spindle has not come loose, it can be brazed if necessary.
Check the spindle for excessive play - if large, it can cause very rough running.
Check the rotor arm and replace with new - some have a component buried in them that fails.
There are some issues with Dynamators but Tony will sort you out, when you are ready.
