This may not prove to be fresh information but might help others.I bought 6 volt Dynamotor and have been alarmed by reports of wear.Consequently we have refitted the old worm gears from either end of the old dynamo to the new ends on dynamotor.
Surprisingly perhaps we found WEAR on the new worm gear from the distributor end of the dynamotor.Surprisingly this “new” gear is shorter than the original gear.Significantly it is also SMALLER in diameter than the older unit.Consequently we believe the gears are not meshing at correct depth which may be the cause of wear.
