the dizzy itself has play?  :shocked:

axial (can you turn a short distance before you get resistance) or radial play (does shaft wobble - i.e. move in the horizontal plane)?

never had that kind of play in any of my dizzys :O

can you take the cap and finger off and make photos pushing it in either direction so we can see how much play's in there?

its fairly normal that you cant rotate it though..... after all its connected to an intermediary shaft thats connected to the crankshaft via cambelt....... if you could rotate it rather easily that'd be worrysome!
