When you talk about rotating the motor 1/2", where are you measuring that; at the outside end of a fan blade, at the end of the wrench on the crankshaft, or what? Thanks.

Pull the distributor cap, watch the rotor, and turn the motor back and forth by hand using the fan blades or a socket on the crank bolt. Turn the motor one way until the rotor moves, then turn it the other way. If you can rotate the motor over 1/2" before the rotor moves again, it's probably time for a chain/gear replacement. It's an easy and cheap check method. Good luck - Happy New Year Joe R.
