Subject:      ignition trouble?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


My 85 westy is acting up.  Last time we drove it, she ran fine.  The next
time I wanted to go she wouldn't start.  Acting like she weren't firing.  I
pulled the distributor cap and the rotor and contact electrode (in the
distributor cap) were burned up?  I put another cap and rotor on but still
got nothing.  I plan to run through the Bentley troubleshooting drill but
wondered if someone has been here before (i.e. my lazy a** wants the easy
way out).  If something is amiss with hall unit/distributor/idle stabilizer
that caused this is there something to prevent it from happening in the
future or are the recommended replacement parts that would be better than
original or inferior parts to watch out for???  Thanks in advance...
