Hi, David,
I've recently had a rotor failure after about 2000 miles at Conclave, Ohio.
Definitly not electronic, new points, condenser, inspected, adjusted about 9
months ago. I had been warned and carried a spare. Now I carry three spares,
all LUCAS, one of same vintage as failed unit, two new about two months old.
Please help us, We're waiting for a positive answer and backup parts.
Thanks, Don Gschwind
