Black Scorpion/Thunderbolt Cap and Rotor Help
1 Attachment(s)
Doing end of year maintenance and I’m trying to get the rotor off the distributor shaft. I admit ignorance, but I was under the impression that the rotor just pulled up off the shaft without any fastener removal. This rotor was in need of a change as it was brittle and broke right off. Is there something I’m missing or is it possibly corroded to the shaft?

I am pretty sure it is supposed to just pull off. Probably stuck on extra hard from corrosion. I would put a piece of scrap wood across the base to protect it and use a pry bar pushing up right next to the shaft.

makes you wonder how the corrosion got in there to start with. doesn't take much moisture to cause issues. Id replace the dizz, they're not much. Not sure if you're comfortable setting timing, not difficult. Although you're not going to be able to tell where current timing is set so get your hands on a manual for that motor.

So I was able to get it off after borrowing my neighbor's oscillating multi-tool with a serrated blade. I essentially had to chip it out into about 10 different pieces before I could peel the remainder of the rotor off the shaft. Hard to tell if it was heat, corrosion, or lack of maintenance from the previous owner that did it, but I'm going to guess all three played a part. I started it up this morning and it ran fine, so I'm going to call this done.
Thanks for the help! |
cool!
