Trouble May Be
Distributor Cap
The next time you remove
the distributor cap to adjust
or replace the breaker points
on your ti’actor, take a good
look at the carbon centei
contact inside the cap it
the contact shows signs of
excessive wear, you can el
iminate potential .starting
trouble by installing a new
cap
According to agricultural
engineers when a gap 13
worn between the contact
and the metal finger on tho
rotor, arcing may result
causing corrosion and high
resistance. The resulting vol
tage loss at the spark plug
will cause hard starting
which may appear to be
caused by a weak battery or
poor connection between th
distributor and the break
points.
