as said, guys I work with mentioned that the dizzy should almost be spring loaded & return. taking my cap off a while ago I noticed play of 10deg or so, but no springy-ness to speak of.

Should have zero play in a E series, the shaft/gear/rotor fit together as a solid unit, there is no 'springyness' to be had.

your rotor button has worn away at the plastic slot that locks onto the groove off the shaft??
