Take off the rotor and see if the part that makes contact is smooth. If it's ruff, it needs to be replaced.

True, one of the simplest things to check and replace. Its a 1 beer job.

Hi,
Distributor rotor is checked by its surface. If it is rough then replace it.
The simplest way to check the rotor.
Thanks

That is a really good thing to know. I wouldn't have known to do that.

How did this work out? I've done that before and it's necessary to have a good connection all the way through.

I guess I've been lucky enough to never have to deal with something like this

Yeah, me too. I guess it's not too hard to replace the rotor.
