MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(g)
Inspect distributor gear teeth for wear and general integrity. Replace block assembly as
required.
(h)
Inspect the electrode finger for looseness. The electrode should be held securely to the
shaft when tested with light finger pressure. If loose, replace block and gear.
(i)
Clean the end of the electrode to remove electrical deposits.
(j)
Inspect bearing bar for cracks or other physical
damage. Replace as required.
(k)
Ensure the bearing bar is free of all and carbon dust
prior to reassembly.
(8)
Inspect the carbon brush. Overall length must be greater
than 19/64 (.297) inch and the outside diameter must be
uniform (see Figure 2). Replace as required.
(9)
Inspect the loading spring. Overall free standing length
should be greater than 19/32 (.594) inch. Springs that
appear worn, that have flat spots or are too short must
be replaced.
(10) Inspect and clean inlet nozzle. Yellow or white particles or any oily film indicates moisture
contamination and possible lack of pressurization. Inspect and repair pressurization system.
(11) Inspect and clean orifice vent. Maximum orifice diameter is .025 inch.
(12) Inspect frame gasket for wear. Replace as required. Use only Slick replacement gaskets as
gasket contains a metal mesh to ensure proper ground between magneto frame and housing.
Inspect screw gaskets for wear. Replace as required.
(13) Inspect harness cap O-ring for wear. Replace as required.
D.
Disassembly (See Figures 3 and 4.)
NOTE: Use of the Slick T - 100 Assembly and Timing Kit (Figure 3) is strongly recommended. The
tools contained in this kit will greatly facilitate magneto disassembly/assembly and help
prevent damage to parts.

(2)
Remove distributor housing assembly.
(a)
Remove three long screws and single short screw from distributor housing.
(b)
Separate distributor housing from magneto frame.

Remove the distributor block assembly by removing two screws and remove distributor bearing
bar, distributor gear and distributor block from the housing.

When removing the condenser from the distributor housing, carefully rotate the condenser
wire counterclockwise in the same direction as the condenser to eliminate twisting the
condenser lead.
(b)
For left magneto only, remove the screw that secures the retard contact breaker switch
wire to the distributor housing.
(5)
Remove rotor gear by prying it out of the end of the rotor assembly using two flat-blade
