Changing to copper dissy cap warning..

Post by redeye32uk »

Just a word of warning so you don't make the same mistake as i did... when fitting the new rotor arm on,put a touch of threadlock or a touch of gloss paint on the end of the threads....my tubby cut out on me yesterday .Found that the rotor arm had come off an smashed the new dissy cap up inside :x :cry: Managed to get it back together , one copper contact left, rotor arm end missin an it started :shock: managed to get me home......done 2500 miles since it was fitted an it had never missed a beat. Iknow it was put on tight as i double checked it as i fitted it. well have to get a new one at a later date now..........

Thats more a general dissy cap warning fella - I've heard of the same thing happening in the US quite a few times :(
Small turbos - they're not big and they're not clever!

Just say NO to small turbos!
