Can't get the distributor cap off!

[newty]

Hi guys,

yesterday, my k11 wouldn't start. I tried all of the tricks for fixing a flooded engine but to no avail. I think my distributer might be wet, but I can't get the cap off! The two top screws came off fine but I'm not sure if there's a third. If there is, I can't get to it. Help?

that's what I thought. I'm having trouble reaching the one underneath

remove the battery and you can get your head down there to see

I'll try that. Cheers.

for goodness sake! took the battery out but I still can't see, the relay switches are in way. Been trying for a good hour now.

I just recently removed my distrubuter, and refitted it and as Toney said, remove the battery, but also remove the fuse box, there is 1 screw for that, and a clip, then access to the bottom screw should be easier, use a torch to if that helps

I removed mine using a stubby No1 pozi screw driver. 2 or 3 inches long.
Don't think I had to remove anything.
It was awkward but not impossible.

I bought a 5.5mm super small ring key for doing mine (about 3cm long), makes the job a doddle!
