Title: distributors Post by: VALLEYSBOY on October 23, 2007, 10:09:32 AM hi, im on the look out for a haynes manuel for the rialto atm but does anyone here now if the rialto-850cc/robin-750cc engines use the same distributors? i aint had them out yet still sorting a small space so i can work on them :)
Title: Re: distributors Post by: TwistedPatience on October 23, 2007, 03:51:18 PM I think they are different but Manky is the expert.
Title: Re: distributors Post by: tazet on October 23, 2007, 04:32:08 PM Right looking at the Haynes manual for Robins and Kittens 1973-83, 748cc & 848cc, it says -
Robin with 750cc engine up to No 7941 -------------Lucas 23D4, Robin with 750cc engine from No 7942 --------------Lucas 43D4, Robin with 850cc engine and all Kitten models -----Lucas 45D4. ;D Does this answer your question? Title: Re: distributors Post by: VALLEYSBOY on October 23, 2007, 10:02:31 PM hmm do they by any chance list rialto's or are they the same as robins/kittens? thanks for the info :)
Title: Re: distributors Post by: tazet on October 24, 2007, 06:03:05 AM No problem mate. No Rialto mentioned sorry. Manky asked the same question. Haven't got a clue if they would be the same maybe someone will know out there. :)

Title: Re: distributors Post by: Manky Monkey on October 24, 2007, 11:40:57 AM I'd imagine all the 850s will be the same VB, except maybe the fabled high compression version that everyone says was made, but no-one's actually seen.
If you can read Adobe Acrobat documents, I've got the whole Haynes manual copied onto a disc as one giant document. Can send you a copy, (subject to the Post Office strike backlog), if you want it. Title: Re: distributors Post by: VALLEYSBOY on October 24, 2007, 12:43:27 PM yeah that would be fine m8e :) got no probs reading :) "spelling is always s**t" but id have to get a manuel dunno if u understand that :) summut ive done with all mechanical things suppose its a bit like peeps collecting reading books but i only buy books relating to a project or instruction type manuels. "i dont now wot im on about :)" im off :0
Title: Re: distributors Post by: VALLEYSBOY on October 24, 2007, 12:52:01 PM ok posted on R3W forum so far Sparesman2000 posted this titbit :)
Quote If they are both 45D ones yes the early 750 cc engines still used the 25 D which I wouldn't advise using although can see no reason why they shouldn't work. but to get best results from an 850 cc engine I'd advise the later 45D ones that use the so called "blue contacts" first used in 1978 I think which because of the way they work use a dwell angle of 58 + or- 5 as against the earlier 45D ones which used a dwell angle of 51 + or - 5 then Macplaxton wrote.. Quote Physically yes and it would run. But I'd worry if someone else has been there before you. Tell you what, post the code numbers that are stamped on the side of the distributor body and well see if we can compare them. so im off to find out the no's :) Title: Re: distributors Post by: Manky Monkey on October 24, 2007, 02:29:01 PM Ain't t'internet a wonderful place!
Title: Re: distributors Post by: Hillbilly Deluxe on October 24, 2007, 02:52:28 PM certainly is,you dont get tea n' cake in the library
Title: Re: distributors Post by: VALLEYSBOY on October 24, 2007, 03:31:33 PM seems the 750 one wont work, my current 850 is well knackered from the burning :) im looking at engine no's atm ....
Title: Re: distributors Post by: brock on October 24, 2007, 09:47:14 PM or either one with the Pertronix module and forget about points gapping forever
Title: Re: distributors Post by: Manky Monkey on October 24, 2007, 09:49:40 PM Got a link for that Brock? I'd like to fit one to mine. Would that eliminate the need for the ballast resistor?
Title: Re: distributors Post by: VALLEYSBOY on October 24, 2007, 10:05:58 PM or either one with the Pertronix module and forget about points gapping forever hmm yeah thats sounds good :)Title: Re: distributors Post by: BikerGran on October 25, 2007, 09:00:00 PM Oi VB! When Manky said
If you can read Adobe Acrobat documents, I've got the whole Haynes manual copied onto a disc and you said Quote yeah that would be fine m8e got no probs reading "spelling is always s**t" /quote] He wasn't asking about your readin but whether your computer could read Adobe documents. I just loved what you said about spelling - my best mate used to run a coffee shop and had to write up the boards with the Specials etc - she told me one day she'd decided not to care if the spelling was wrong, cos it was gonna be wrong whatever she did! She was dead right too, her spelling was always s**t but no-one ever complained! cheers, BG Title: Re: distributors Post by: VALLEYSBOY on October 25, 2007, 09:15:03 PM I Nowwww lol i was trying to make a joke of myself but its obviously flew by you :)
