Omega General Help / ignition barrel

« on: 08 May 2015, 17:35:03 »

Just cleaned and re-greased the ignition barrel with the help of the guide in the maintenance section to try and solve the sticking key problem . I've got back together now and it is a lot better than it was, however I still need to pull the key out slightly to get the barrel to turn. Is there a fix that can be done while the barrel is on the bench or any way to stop the key going in to far, thanks for any help you can give.

hi again
found a couple of hours to-day to have a go at cleaning & regreasing the ignition barrel
apart from removing the covers nothing else matched what is in the guide
no sign of barrel release hole
flat electrical conection under the barrel
round soft plastic over the front of the barrel with the key positions marked on it
needless to say all this put the wind up me so i've put the covers back on and i'm looking for more help please
