Yep Brandon you made my day! But you know what? there isn't one of us on this forum that during a tune up have not forgotten to reinstall the rotor until we go to start the engine and she won't. It's then we remember in our privacy that we failed to reinstall the rotor.- /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif--Keoke

ROTFL? Sorry, never heard of that one. Related to snafu or fubar?

Nope Judge, ROTFL=Rolling on the Floor Laughing. I got so tickled at our oversight I had tears runing down my cheeks.--Keoke
 
Re: Petronix and Dist Rebuild - Car not starting

When I saw the pix, I assumed that the rotor was off to show the ground wire, although it did cross my mind that it might be missing. How many times do I have to learn that "assume" lesson? I felt a bit silly when Brandon found the problem. On the brighter side, there now is a pretty thorough thread for starting problems.

BTW, ROTF beats SNAFU or FUBAR (both courtesy of our military).
