If you
have a melted rotor the cause is the cam bushing has rotated the cam end
oil slot out of position or the bushing oil slot has become plugged.
This is not uncommon after a cam change. The melting point of the
ignition rotor is 430° F. That means the end of the cam shaft has
had to reach the melting point of the rotor. When the rotor melts
this changes the timing of the engine and it shuts off. If the rotor
is melted in such a fashion, do not change the ignition or continue use of
the engine until the cam bushing has been checked or serious engine damage
will occur. When the problem has been repaired replacement rotors
can be purchased from Power Arc Ignition, Inc.
Determine the model of ignition you need the rotor for before calling. |
