I've searched the forums and otherwise, and can't find any answers about the distributor shaft for a 9-N.
The bottom end of the shaft presents a special area which mates with the engine camshaft. As per the photo, there's a threaded hole in the end, and I'm needing to know what the screw down at the bottom does. In particular, I'm wondering if this end of the shaft can somehow move out of place, and thus affect engine timing.
When following procedure for setting timing, the scale will only get with about 1/8-3/16 from where the manual specifies, and I'm having to maximize advance timing (distributor side plate) to get a start.
