However I'm wondering about the 2 levers that run on the flywheel cam - the one that opens the points looks ok, but the other has something missing off the end of it (bare metal arm now)... I can't tell what it eve...

Thanks that's a good tip about temp hose clamp; should show me how much gap is needed.

Re: Thank you John, & all contributors!
