Title: Ignition Barrel
Post by: Ratty on 09 November 2011, 22:32:30

I have the dreaded sticky ignition barrel, I've read the guide on how to service it but just wondered what is best to grease/lubricate it with during re-assembly.

TIA

I need a bit of help here please, I've stripped the barrel down, cleaned it, and reassembled (well partly) all the plungers and springs are in the right places but I can't get the anti rotation pin back in, the plungers are proud of the barrel by a fraction of a mm but enough to stop the barrel rotating when I put the pin back in place, is there a trick/knack to doing this bit?

I thought I might have done something wrong and got another barrel from the local scrap yard but this one is exactly the same.

TIA
