Mi16 Dizzy Cap Knackered?

Recommended Posts

mareksio

My 205 Mi has been suffering from a rather persistent low-rev (<3000rpm) misfire that over the last week has got steadily worse, today culminating in it stalling at the lights and refusing to start again.

 

Took off the dizzy cap and it didn't look great - in particular, the centre contact, which was covered in black stuff and seemed to only protrude from the plastic by about 1mm (also, thought they were supposed to be spring-loaded?). Does this sound like it's knackered? Looking at previous posts, the symptoms I've had certainly seem to point toward the cap/arm, but I've never seen a new cap, so not sure what it should look like...

Sounds knackered to me from the symptoms - the center pin should indeed be spring-loaded so it sounds like it's siezed.

Ok thanks Anthony, hopefully that's the only thing wrong with it!
