Hi
Beautiful weather in CT this weekend. Trying to the TR out as much as possible. Hope others are too.
Quick question. Twice now in the past 1,000 miles I've experienced a fouling ignition rotor. Symptoms are an engine misfire under load or under more then 1/2 throttle. Symptoms get worse when engine hot, gets better when engine cool.
I can fix it simply by polishing it with a scotch brite pad. When inspecting the rotor after cleaning the edge of the contact is just slightly pitted. I am wondering if this is just a failing rotor which needs replacement or if there is some other condition causing this??
Rotor is about 11 years old with 9,000 miles on it.
Thanks
Bob
PS: I've already ordered a high quality "red" replacement rotor
