The location is at Mulligan's - right on the Sawmill Creek event property. http://sawmillcreek.com/mulligans.html Our own MMM GGGuru Chris Nowlan will be a featured GOF Central speaker and John Twist will be in attendance with his world famous rolling tech session. To all others - like those on the RIGHT side of the Atlantic, you're most welcome to join in with our festivities. Details and registration are here: WWW.GOFCENTRAL.COM. Please respond to me with your intentions so we may give accurate numbers to our food service people. And remember, Mulligan's serves good beer! Stay Thirsty My Friend!

Upon a little dis-assembly the problem was obvious. John Z. was right with his diagnosis. The woodruff key was worn away at the top of the generator. The gear would twist easily through about 25 degrees. That's a lot of cam timing variance! There is wear from the dynamo top fork working back and forth so it is a loose fit now on the dynamo shaft. It appears that it is an old problem with this dynamo. Someone tried to pin the nut to stay tight with a punch. The keyway on the generator shaft is hogged out to one side. I ordered new parts and will have to get a new keyway cut. I suppose it would be a good time to consider a new 2-brush dynamo. Valve timing is rather important and there must be a lot of force on this component. This was easily diagnosed and (will be) readily fixed. I am much relieved and grateful to the advise of the other owners.

I had a dynamo shaft break in the top bearing a couple of years ago. When I asked everyone no one had ever heard of it happening. Looks like it is more common than everyone thought. The fix for mine was to machine the shaft end flat and tap a hole into it and make a new end piece with a male thread on it and screw it in. All good so far although fair to say not done 1000 miles, but it is a supercharged engine Obviously need to get the thread the right way around so id doesn't undo. Can't remember whether it was left hand or right hand thread.

Can send you picture. It needs sandblasting inside and painting with something 2 component. It would cost you only postage from germany. Let me know if you find nothing better.
