Well, Jim was right to suspect the rotor before the condenser. Popped in the used rotor that just got dropped off by Jim Becker as he rolled through Winnemucca on his run from Reno to Elko with a nearly 2 mile long train. Sophy fired right off and sounded
much better. Will take her up to NAPA in the morning to pick up what is now a spare rotor. </div>

Jim also dropped off a complete ZV/JU4R3 distributor so I have back to there as well. </div>

Keith's right, but there's an even quicker/easier temporary solution, and I'm <br>
really, REALLY sorry I didn't think to mention it last night.<br>
<br>
Get out your Swiss Army Knife, or anything else you can find that's <br>
somewhat sharp, and dig down into the epoxy between the center and the tip <br>
of the rotor. You're looking for the gap in the resistor, so if you see a <br>
darkened area, dig there first. Once you get there, dig out all the black stuff <br>
and find some alum foil. Use a small screwdriver or other small tool to stuff <br>
that space full of compacted alum foil. Think like a dentist doing a filling.<br>
<br>
That should get you home, but carry a bit more alum foil with you, in case <br>
you need to renew the "filling."<br>
