These things are dead easy to work on, however...

Do not break any of the composite insulators/spacers as they are a beast to find. I ended up buying a pick-yer-part dizzy just to get the breaker plate insulator after I broke mine in half.

Some of the parts Nate refers to are no longer available from the sources he used. They flat out told me they didn't know what I was talking about.

The later FI dizzy looks very different from the one he is rebuilding but the innards are suprisingly identical (that's where i got my "new" insulator from).

Some shafts must be disassembled by unscrewing the top part, others are removed by pulling the drive dog and yet others are "popped" apart by a swift blow to the top of the shaft (they have a retaining spring-ring inside there). I dis-member which is which.
