Ignition cam for Mehari

The ignition cam for Mehari is one of the unique features of Citroën air-cooled engines.

The ignition camallows the opening of the ignition switch (point breakers), and is mounted directly at the end of the crankshaft. It's the one that acts as the ignition finger and synchronizes the ignition of the 2 cylinders at the right time. Normal wear and tear requires replacement (every 100,000km).
