Hi Guys,
Still working on the 71 TR6. My buddy Mark found a few things on the Carbs
so now it will hold an idle but I developed a real bad miss at low revs
today. I opened up the points and that got me home from Cleveland and once
home I
reset the timing, way retarded, and it ran a little better but not right yet.
Intermittent fire at the plugs especially at low rpm's. It has new wires,
points and condenser with an old cap and rotor. Question is that the rotor's
leading edge is real shiny and looks burnt and the cap has grooves worn in the
terminals at the top. I replaced the rotor (used one) and after 25 miles it
looks shiny too. Mark was into the dizzy for he says he found that the weights
were rusted. However I looked at the previous cap and it looks the same with
grooves worn in. Is this normal? The shaft seems pretty tight. This all
looks suspicious to me, I can even see a few metal shavings inside the cap.
This
is an original Lucas script cap that can't have more than 1000 miles on it.
Distributor was rebuilt in 1992 25,000 or so miles ago. What say the List?
Thanks,
Darrell
