Subject:      Centrifical Advance Sticking?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


What would the symptoms of a stuck centrifical advance be?  I have an '85
1.9l Digijet and have heard the centrifical advance weights can sometimes
stick.   If they were stuck in some degree of advance, what would the next
start be like?  Slower cranks speeds and hard starting?  If they stuck
while you were running--say slowing down at a stop sign--would it cause the
idle hang up higher?  I am going to take a look at my distributor shortly
and was wondering.  The book says to lubricate something near the pick-up
coil.  Exactly what and what kind of grease?
