Subject:size of nut (bolt?) on crankcase pulley?
From:Gerald Masar
Date:Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:22:34 -0700

In my never-ending quest to fix "cranks-won't-start" issue on my '88 Westy,
I am going to swap distributor (with Hall sender intact) from my '90 so I need
to be able to line things up. I can turn it with a "spanner" or Crescent wrench,
but proper size socket would be better.
Is it pretty straight-forward if I follow the instructions in Bentley & Haynes re
lining up the mark on the pulley and the rotor pointing toward #1?
Thanks for any additional help anyone can provide and of course, thanks for
all previous suggestions.
I don't want to screw up, and end up with TWO non-running Westys. There's
nothing left in the barn but shank's mares.
I have swapped ECU's, since that was easier, and still no start.
