Probably has nothing to do with your problem but check for spark. While
I'm at it, anybody ever had a rotor go bad? It just wont run with the
new rotor installed ( ran for about 2000 miles) , if I put the old one
back in it runs fine. I've swapped them out about 5 times, with the same
results. Its just a big hunk of brass on top, where can I be losing the
spark?
Thanks
