ROYAL ENFIELD WORKSHOP MANUAL

The valve is set to open when the oil pressure

exceeds about 35 lbs per square inch and when set
correctly there is a movement of about 3/32 in. of
the ball off the seat. This can be measured without
dismantling the crankshaft by pushing a thin rod
through the hole in the pump worm with the oil
feed plug in the timing cover removed.

If the crankshaft is dismantled for any reason,

it is always advisable to fit a new spring to the
relief valve in case the original one has become
weak.

If the valve is set to give too high a pressure,

the pump disc will be forced off its seating.

26. Removal of the Magdyno

Remove the magdyno pinion. (See Subsection

18.)

Unscrew the nut on the fixing strap bolt and

swing the strap clear. The magdyno can then be
withdrawn.

In replacing the magdyno, see that the felt

washer, retainer and spring are in position.
