The previous thread was getting rather long. Part 2 will pick up where the other left off.

Hi narrabay2. WRT cap. I might as well hold off until I have the soles out in order to ensure it is not down there somewhere, although I highly doubt it.
I'm mad at myself for losing it. If it comes to it, this fall I'll pull the tower and overhaul it. That will mean bushing part of it and making a new cap.
As for the brass bushing? Its kind of a risk/reward thing. Since I am unclear on how to remove it, and might only damage it, I think I'll simply bush it. I have ordered material to do so.
The bottom line is that by next spring, for the first time, I should have a properly functioning ignition system that will last a long time.
Cheers! |

Today is my lucky day. While hooking up the trickle charger to top off the battery, I caught a glimpse of the cap below one of the soles toward the stern. I was able to fish it out. What a relief!
I still intend to re-bush or shim everything else. In one case, the existing hole will need to be reamed, then a bushing pressed in. So I'll still require the services of my trusty machinist. That should make it good as new and good for another 100 years or so.
This time I truly believe I've found the source of the problem.
Cheers!
