| Post subject: | Early H1 Distributor assembly |
My bike came to me with the right side apart, and missing pieces . As I see it, starting from the cover coming out, it should be : round rubber seal round dished plastic then the rotor , but im not sure how the rotor attatches to the dist shaft. The shaft has a flat side, so does the rotor just slide on with no fastener? ....to be held in place by the dist itself? then another round seal then the actual distributor.. I also have no plug wires and grommets. Just wondering if others have recommendations for wires/caps/plugs ect My distributor looks well used, but with no cracks. My rotor seems complete. My bike came with the low cover but it was cracked pretty bad. So I am now running the high cover. |

I'd fix the low cover. The grommet you can buy and get wires And caps. This is the year to do it on . |

Plastic shield first, insulator gasket next, then cap. Rotors come in 3 different flavors, two used 28mm shafts. First rotors were retained on the distributor shaft with a screw, to get it off, you either took the clutch cover off and disassembled the drive, shaft, or, per bulletin, broke it off, and replaced it with a 28mm "QD" (Quick Disconnect) type rotor that slid on to the shaft, no screw. These rotors were either brown, or black. Later engines used a 31mm QD shaft and rotor, colored green. If you use the low cover, use a good set of plugs wires, the reason the covers and their wires were changed is that some owners that refused to learn how the fuel valves worked,eft them in prime, carbs over flowed fuel right into the. Distributor, and blew both the distributor and cover right off the side of the bike. When the fuel over flowed the carbs, plugged up case drains allowed the fuel last the wire insulator, also destroying the plug wire insulation. |

My shaft has a hole in it for a fastener, but I dont think my black rotor does... I will have another look today |

The cover will be painted at the end correct so repair Can be done in lots of ways |

That would give you a first design 28mm shaft, and second design, first QD rotor, per one of the first FDM's. It might be on the Resources site to view. The 3rd design, 2nd GREEN type QD rotor WILL NOT FIT correctly. Although there were all sorts of changes going on all the time, the first real FDM on this came along for engine numbers 8801 and up. |

My engine number is 1507 . Im going to attempt assembly today. I will snap a few photos along the way. I think I have all the needed parts at this point. |

That would indicate you want to look for the FDM revised rotor, brown/red, QD, 28mm shaft, not the green rotor. To use another BLACK rotor would require taking the clutch cover off the engine, removing the distributor shaft, and installing rotor, with hold on screw, not QD. Removing the shaft is the only way a screw can ge inserted into the rotor and shaft, if not, the screw hits the clutch cover. You can get ;em out, but not back in without pulliung the clutch cover. If you are attempting to match the original cover paint, closest I found was a Lubri-Tec paint, and clear, "Honda Cloud Silver", and their enamel clar coat. Yes, I now, "silver", but, it comes out the correct gray/silver finish. |
