Dueling Manuals---
The Haynes manual shows a washer underneath the gear that drives the cam and oil pump--it also says the float or play on this gear should be adjusted or it will wear out quickly.
The TRF Factory reprint of the TR250 parts book shows no such washer--nor do the Moss or VB catalogs.
I don't think my motor had one when I took it apart, but I cannot say for sure.
Anybody dealt with this issue or have any thoughts.
I started to assemble the gear and piece that goes over it and had quite a bit of free play, my thought was to take the gear to the hardware store and look for washers of the appropriate size and thickness and fit one, but would defer to any knowledge or experience on the subject that forumites may have, the gear I am referencing is Triumph part number 126785.
I am trying to follow the do it once do it right school in the engine rebuild, but this one has me scratching my head.
