Well, if the idler gear is going to fail, I guess the workshop is the best place for it to happen. The gear on my Dual Twin failed a few years ago and it meant phone calls and rescue by van and trailer! Ruined the evening's ride-out.
The good news is that the idler gear is quite easy to swap, but you'll need tom line up the dots in the generator drive tgear train to make sure the ignition timing is still OK, and there will be a fair bit of fibre debris lurking around inside the case from the failed gear. Make sure you clean it all out from the primary drive chamber.The idler gear is a wear point on this engine, but I'm sure a spare should be obtainable from a fellow site member, even if Richard is out of stock.Graham
