Ignition barrel turning

[2233]

How do I stop my ignition barrel from spinning when I turn the key?

echo buy a workshop manul:+:w. if the barell is turning then the key that keeps it in place has sheared off. you will hav to get a new barell an keys. dont think super glue will be strong enuf. iirc just use an old falcon set xw xy etc

How do I get it out?

Hey Ech!
Check the screw hasn't come loose at the bottom of the bracket, its a small phillips head screw which points upwards just under the key hole.then tighten the retaining nut behind the tumbler mechanism.
Let me know how you go, I am at home today if you get stuck I mite try coaching you through.I can post you my workshop manual and if you happen to have access to a photo copier you can copy what you want and post it back.
Cheers PAull

Thanks for the help on this one guys.

I found the screw that holds the bracket on and it was tight and in place.

So, I got a screw driver and turned the bezel (that is around the barrel) clockwise and guess what?..............No more spinning barrel and key. :(

Stop looking HEVEN.

Then I cranked it over and guess what?..........I big blue spark jumped out of the coil lead :2.......Then whilst continuing to crank the engine the spark has gone :_

After several more times cranking the engine no more spark is to be seen. ;]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[ozford]

ok like i said before conect a line direct to the coil from the battery.then crank it over. if theres a spark then circut between the switch an coil is faulty. no spark means the coil is shot.
