That has been my exsperiance too..usually they need shimmed up a tad for proper clearance...I guess its not out of the question for it to be the other way.

I would guess the problem is in the distributor somewhere..not engaged far enuff or broken inside......is there a shear pin inside of those?
Might be sheared off and still binding and spinning the pump some..?

Not sure where the shear pin is or if they even have them in there on that model......or if the shear pin effects the timing gear, rather than the pump rod?
