David Robertson Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Looking at the distributor, Top left = 4. Top right = 3. Bottom left = 2. Bottom right = 1. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Robertson Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I have 2 Hotchkiss M201's, both have the screened leads as per the photo in the manual, hope this clarifies the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick50 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Please can anyone help me with the vacuum advance on Hotchkiss distributor....have removed plate inside and the vac pipe just ends as a hole inside,so when you suck on pipe there is no connection to mechanism. Many thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Best to ID the dizzy , there are alternatives , IIRC the screened / waterproofed was ' all centifugal advance ' , a PO could have fitted a alternative with vacuum and rigged up a vacuum pipe - then part stripped to disconnect ,if it performed better on just the centrifugal advance ,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ruxy says above, depends on type of distributor, it could be a distributor vent pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
