Thanks for the latest - I'm going to set a date up with Quiggly who is close to me and pop his known working dist in there. This rebuilt one I have I got from Bratton's. Have no fear if we can win this battle the resolution will be on the Barn.
The other evening I swapped the upper dist plate with an old one and it did the same @&(**# thing. Ran great for 15 minutes and then went silent.
