Hi folks,
I did some routine maintenance on the Hawk last sunday.
Checking the Autolite Distributor, I noticed very fine (almost dust) aluminium shavings on the inside of the cap. They obviously came from the terminals.
I thought there might be a problem with the rotor and discovered that it has been assembled incorrectly. The brass segment is badly riveted as there is a tiny piece of plastic tucked under it. Therefore, it is not horizontal. Besides, the edges of the rotor look like if they were finished with a coarse grate.
These parts are less than a year old and have only seen a few hundred kilometers of use. To me, they are just of poor quality, but I'd like to get any opinions or any expériences about this. Is this the best we can hope from brand new parts nowadays?
Of course, if you have any ignition brand recommandations, I'd be glad to read them.
Nice day to all.
