I have had this happen too, even after changing plugs. I do not have a rough idle. I finally gave up thinking about it and it does not seem to affect performance. Any thoughts would solve this old mystery.

Ok - the interesting question got lost in the fluff of my last question...

There's a lot of mechanical know-how here and I am wondering if anyone has seen anything like the following:

Minor tune up on recently purchased 83.5 Westy. Noticed one terminal on the distributor cap was highly corroded (front left cyl nearest driver). Replaced the cap with a new one ~ one month ago. Checked again yesterday and the same terminal has started to corrode. Anyone seen anything like this? The wires do not appear to be cracked...
