2000 j70plssd Timer Base question

Replacing the timer base on my ‘00 j70plssd. The old base has an “adjuster” assembly attached to the ‘arm’. The new base (CDI 133-4804) has a zip tie through the screw hole holding the wires down. Even if I were to snip the wires, I thing the wiring is way to stiff to be about to get the ‘adjuster’ onto the new base. Oddly, when I look through the schematics, it says the adjuster number (0336299) is obsolete. My question is: is the adjuster no longer needed on the timer base?

Have to ask.----Is your old timer base proven defective ?-----What testing was done if any ?----How do the test numbers compare between these 2 timer bases ?

Haven't checked the new base. Really never crossed my mind. I'll do that when I get home. On the "bad" one, the ohm reading between the white/purple and the white/blue were the same +/- a few ohms. The white/purple, however was ~ 20% higher than the other two. The CDI pdf states that they should be within 10% of each other. That's why I was replacing. Chasing down some random starting and idling issue. The timer and the power pack both "failed" bench tests.
 
These models are bad about having the sensor magnets shifting on flywheel...also check the power coil on stator(org wires) as if failing will cause start and idle issues.

The magnets seem good. The Stator checked out ok, but the outer casing is cracked in a couple of places. Due to the stators age and the cracks, it was suggested that I go ahead and replace it while I had the flywheel off; so I picked one up. My main issue now is getting the adjuster mounted. I snipped the zip tie off the timer base arm, but the wire sheath seems to be glued/expoxied to the wires. The adjuster will not seat properly over the sheath, and I can not get the sheath to slide out of the way so that I can lay the wires flat under the adjuster. There also seems to be something very rigid under the base end of the new sheath that is not under the old sheath. I am stumped. Should I try to cut that end of the sheath off and retape it after?
