Hello all.

I am restoring a Gilbarco A-M with the ECO internals. All seems to be working well, except the following, and I would greatly appreciate your input or suggestions!
The mechanism is applying the "shots" correctly, but the part that strikes the pivoting arm with the bell-clapper on one end, appears to be too far away from the bell-clapper, so the bell does not ring.
I don't see where any adjustment is. I could easily weld onto the arm so the air-gap is less, but I hate wrecking originality, especially if I am overlooking something due to inexperience.

I know this is not the world's clearest question, as I don't know the correct terms for the parts yet. If anyone has any ideas please post something.

grateful thanks,

morgan

Contact Jack Sim on this sight , he might have a manual you can purchase that will give you all the information that you might need to make this adjustment . Just a hunch but probably the best source for this type of info .

Some Gilbarco's look alike, but inside one is the old mechanism originally patented by a man name Penn. Then Gilbarco started buy their mechanisms from ECO (a part of the Bennett Pump Co.).

This will halp you determine which meter you have. Contact me if you need any parts:
