quagmire 0 Posted July 8, 2007 I was changing the HT leads the other day, I took the dizzy cap and rotor arm off (as you do) changed the leads and put it all back together. The engine would then rotate but wouldn't fire. I took the dizzy cap off and had a look, it seems that if I put the rotor arm all the way onto the pin its not making contact (hence not firing) if I only put it half way onto the pin and then push the dizzy cap over it it starts fine. The cap and arm are new so just wondering if this is normal or could I have the wrong rotor arm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 74 2 Cars Posted July 9, 2007 sounds like a wrong part somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@cornwall 100 Posted July 9, 2007 sounds like a wrong part somewhere. Or the carbon contact in the cap is broken? compare to the old one to see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quagmire 0 Posted July 9, 2007 The carbon contact seems fine, doesn't look broken and pushes in and out on the spring ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
