Distributor curve help needed
Sounds good. Cool off!
I've got to get ready for two days playing in the sun and rain. :rolleyes::realcrazy:
The primary spring needs to pull its weight against the inside of its slot.
The secondary weight will then follow. There may be a little slop between the slot and the second weight's pin. That's OK.
Here's an ugly example. You can see ther secondary weight has some play but the primary one is tight to the inside.
There needs to be enough side play between the slots and the pins so they run free. The machining on most of these are not that precise. It doesn't effect operation and sometimes even helps it.
A cleaner example (with a heavier primary spring installed).
Direct Connection race distributor (no vac advance) initial.
When the governor plate has rotated enough degrees, the secondary spring will engage its weight and slow the advance.

Exactly
It will retract from the motion of the governor plate.
