Identifying camshafts - Ducati.ms

Hello

Can anyone help me identify the camshaft in my 250. I know that they are often described by colour; green, grey etc.

Is this colour marked on?

The camshaft in mine has no markings, no 'colour'.

Can it be identified by its dimensions?

Thanks
Mat

The colour is usually a dab of paint on the centre of the shaft where the thread is.

Unfortunately there is no paint. I suspect that, that was cleaned off in rebuild years ago.

I've just stuck the callipers across the lope and they measure 29.4mm and 30.9mm. do these sound familiar to anyone?

Hi Mat

my guess would be a green / white cam .
they are original fitted to 350 scramblers
