Hi

Does anyone know how to change the RPM sensor which is mounted above the flywheel on a B230K engine. The sensor is definately faulty, fails when hot, but I can't access it because the back of the engine is so close to the bulkhead and I can't get a spanner onto the 2 bolts. It looks like it is going to be a real pig, might have to drop the engine or move the engine forward, am I missing something?

The other option I am considering is to fit a distributor with the hall effect pick up in it to drive the ignition, has any one tried this or know of any problems.

Any help will be gratefully received.

Cheers
