I have no experience with Weber's setup but that also looks like Precisions which I do have experience with. From what I see and I do not have one handy to measure, but it looks like the recess in the cam sensor drive gear needs to be recessed more. If there is a washer that fits in the recess--the end of cam needs to be a few thousands short of touching the washer (.005)When I first used that setup I thought the material left after recessing would not be enough but not the case. Hope this helps.
Or someone has cut the cam short. It needs to be short enough so that the bolt will JAM all the componts tight. There was a thread once where someone spun the key because the cam stuck out into the gear. The key DOES NOT hold all these pieces in place only a locator, the end bolt jams them all together same as your crank bolt.
