Love talking about things I know nothing about, because when the flames start
coming back, I learn everything I could possible want to know!
I notice you didn't say you'd replaced the rotor. Given how vulnerable these
are to failure these days, I wonder if the other three cylinders are on the
edge, but holding their own, while that one cylinder is the first to fail?
...Or are rotors all-or-nothing type failures?
