The felt holds old to lubricate, but also restricts airflow so oil dosent get pushed through the dizzy into the cap. Its a few inches long, almost the length of the main shaft.

I have seen that photo before (thanks). I used it in this DIY:

Mine was like that, I assumed it was there to 'hold' oil to lubricate the shaft.

The two oil passages on the distributor have a piece of felt like material almost blocking one and completely the other.

What does the felt do

1 slow down/restrict oil
2 keep shaft clean
3 not sure but its not supposed to be across oil ways ?
