Not a new topic for sure.
I've just changed the belt on my No 1 NordWest, and all went well, using a good puller got from the chap who sold me my No 2 Nordie last summer. It did need a rather longer 'button' to take the puller bolt pressure than I expected, but I had some brass which did the job.
The surprise came with the fly-wheel/rotor loose on the taper, when I found that no way would it come off past the base-plate of the ignition pickup. Fortunately it appears that the pickup can only go back in one position, but nowhere have I seen any mention of this needing to come off. Has my pickup got a wider base-plate, or could the flywheel on the back of the rotor be larger in diameter than normal? I've not looked at the situation on No 2 yet, but that has got a kickstart shaft protruding from the RH case, so I'm guessing that it might be an early model, even though it has an electric starter.
Any comments, please?
