Villiers 37A Points Cam

Featured Replies

Hi All

Which way round does the points cam go on a 37A motor? The cam I have has a "1" stamped flat on the one end that could indicate the direction of rotation. The cam has a steep ramp and a much flatter ramp on the other side. When the cam is put in with the "1" on the outside face pointing forwards, the steep part of the ramp will be effective for the points closing.

The Villiers manual is not much help, but I'm sure the solutionpost-6614-0-22466000-1391020719_thumb.jpg is something that every Villiers owner (except me) knows.

Thanks

David

Some of these cam's are arrowed for direction of rotation, I think the mark on yours is that arrow. The stepped part at the other end of the cam goes up to or over the lead thread on the crank.
