Key Features
- Genuine OEM Ignition Accuracy — manufactured to Bomag's exact tolerances for correct spark timing and distribution output, critical for consistent engine performance on tandem rollers
- Direct Replacement Fit — engineered to install in place of the original distributor with no modification, using the same mounting configuration and electrical connections as the factory component
- Broad BW-Series Coverage — fits a wide range of Bomag tandem rollers including the BW 80 ADS, BW 90 AC-2, BW 100 AC-4, BW 100 ACM-5, BW 100 SCC-5, BW 115 AC-3, BW 115 AD-3, BW 120 AC-3, BW 120 AC-4, BW 120 AC-5, BW 125 AC-4, BW 131 ACW-2, BW 131 ACW-3, BW 138 AC-5, and BW 125 AC-4
- Restored Engine Reliability — a worn or failing distributor causes misfires, hard starting, and uneven power delivery; this genuine replacement restores clean ignition timing and stable engine output
- Fuel System Safety Compliance — correct distributor timing prevents over-fueling and the risk of backfiring, keeping the ignition system operating within designed safety parameters
The distributor is a core component of the engine's ignition system, responsible for routing high-voltage current from the ignition coil to each spark plug in the correct firing sequence. On Bomag tandem rollers, a properly functioning distributor ensures the engine fires at the right moment in the combustion cycle, delivering smooth power and consistent drum drive performance across the work surface. When the distributor wears out or fails, symptoms include rough idling, misfires, difficulty starting, and a noticeable drop in machine performance — all of which can bring compaction work to a halt until the component is replaced.
