Hi
Like other people I upgraded my Ruby with a Dynamator and a distrubuter from Accuspark. After about 10 miles I stated to get a lot of noises from the Dynamator (Camshaft gear end) and I opened up the Front viewing panel and the Cam gear teeth are wrecked i.e. reduced width of teeth by about 20%.
Listening to other posts it sounds a simillar problem to other posts. I have a matched pair of Crank and Cam gears and will change them in the next few days. I will also move my Dynam gear to the Dynamator.
I called Accuspark and reported the problem and all they could say was send the Dynamator back and they will look at it.
Seems to me that Dynamo gear and the Dynamator gear are have different teeth profiles and Accuspark should get an Austin 7 failing engine and investigate the meshing of the gears on both Dynamo and and Dynamator.
We all have spent a lot of time and money on this problem already and I may get worse in the future.
Does anyone agree with this??
