Here is the stahls method for paralleling your dists.
Adjust rear top eccentric roller until there is a slight drag against the carriage tube with the lower roller.
Remove the rear nut on the (6001) rod and adjust the stop blade by bending the bracket up or down.
Adjust the length of the (6001) rod so the 2 nylon rollers are equally spaced on the trip rod tube(6091) with the distributor all the way out.
Set both front eccentric rollers to zero.
With the dist all the way back adjust the top front eccentric roller so that the 2 nylon rollers are equally spaced on the trip rod tube(6091) at the back. Then bring the lower front eccentric up so that there is a slight drag against the carriage tube.
Ive used this method on several dists and it seems to work pretty good provided that the carriage tubes are not bent. If they are I have to pull a KING and losen the upper rear eccentric alittle.
That's a big 10-4 Lampie, you gotta bend that bracket to align stop blades. I've seen a lot of mechanics (I use that word very loosely) try to align stop blades with trip cable or rod. That is not the way to do it!
You tweak it until it runs fine and then you leave the damn thing alone!!! [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]
Seriously though.... before doing any parallel the stop blades must be adjusted right. And that does entail bending the rear bracket (and/or the stop tab on it) as necessary.
You tweak it until it runs fine and then you leave the damn thing alone!!!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Larry, this is how you line up the stop blades. It only has to be done one time unless you change rear clutch plate, trip rod, or stop blades, then it may have to be tweaked a bit.
Not to toot my own horn or anything but I don't have but mabye 5 jams a month. I dont have belt risers or any add ons. I have all the same distributor belts on all my machines. I use green vantage belt part #v070-006-757. I cut these belts to 117 3/4".
if you can't get your stop blade at the correct height you can always grind the back section where it locks into the tripstop rod if done correctly you can adjust them without BENDING
s#^* that should be straight
First you clean it
then you lube it
then you clean it
then you adjust it
then you clean it
then you clean it some more
Soo..Iffen you bend it : you don't have to Grind it. ..But iffen you grind it: you don't have to bend it? [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]
I've had my tubes cut [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img] But has anyone had there tubes turned [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img]

Grinding....YEK!! I hit my pinchasers for that.
I am trying the enviro stop blades on one of my machines. I've had them on for about a month and a half and not one problem. Also have enviro clutch disk. Working great! [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif[/img]
Give the most difficult task to the laziest workers. They will eventually find the easiest possible way of getting it done!

i currenty have none like that on my machines
P.S we run 5600fps on a bad week

Enviro stop blades... Love 'em! Have 7 or 8 on now. Did have to grind the tip off of one of them. It was getting caught in the clutch plate. Took off about 1/32".
P.S. - I'm a bender [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]

Can somebody give an explaniton how pins 2, 3, 6 are supposed to be connected. I had a shortcircuit there for the drive motor connection because of water leakage.
I have a distributor that is pulling the belt hard to the left in the nine pin position (and possibly 6 pin), but seems fine in the other spots. As you can see the residue and...
I have several Pin Elevators that I believe to be out of round on my XLi's and was curious if anyone has ever run across this before and is so, what you did about it.
I'm...
