Guys just took of the mechanical advancer on my z1000 b3 project to check out the dyna rotor and advancer,out fell the remains of the little dowel that locates in the slot in the back of the advancer,need to source one of these before i can progress,there are some on Us ebay with daft postage,cant see owt on z power or Cradley kwak says not available,it just looks like a rolled pin to me 8mm long 4mm across Kwak part number is 551a0408 number is 92042-034 in z power parts book,any one got any idea were i can obtain pronto? Cheers Paul J

you have quoted the wrong part number it should be 555A0408 + cradley have it in stock £ 1.70

Cheers Mate will pop over tommorow...

Guyz just has a look at the depth of the drilling that this pin needs to go in seems about 1.5mm deep as the pin is 8mm long will foul on the advance unit,seems someone before has the same prob and tried to hammer the pin in and hence it fell out.doesnt seem to be any old pin broken in there,just seems to be too shallow a hole to do the job,anyone come across this before?tempted to just drill out deeper....

the hole for the pin should be at least 4mm deep

Yep i thought it looked shallow,looks like a bit of carefull drilling..Thanks Paul J

Just measured two spare MK2 cranks , both have a roll pin in and both are 6.5mm depth .

Thanks Geoff looks like i may indeed have the remains of summat in there....Cheers PaulJ

As z1bman said the hole should be 4mm minimum , effective diameter and all .
My measurement was taken from face to the centre point of the drilled hole .

Paul, if I remember correctly the 750 turbo used to have a rolled pin but they kept shearing and I believe it was superceeded with a solid pin. not sure if the size was the same as yours but might be worth replacing with the solid type.

Good advice thanks Guyz

The RHS of my J was scraped off in a incident with the PO.
He replaced the timing cover / inner cover, advance unit and dowel (roll pin).
The roll pinl was left flat on the end (may have been too long a roll pin) and he hadn't noticed, or I when i bought it that it had made the advance unit spin eccentrically because the slot in the back of the advance unit is tapered to its outside edge.
I filed an angle on the end of the roll pin and all was well again!

Guyz, have sorted now, the sheared pin was aright sod to drill out managed to get it out with a left hand drill ,All fitted back together now and have managed to static time to the full advance marks,i reckon the pin shearing had let the advance unit move hence causing the unit to not go to correct advance position..Thanks for all advice on this and have a good hol all!!!
