Howard,
Like Doug Braun said, check for spark. My be is you don't have spark at the
plugs, but have it at the coil wire. You've probably lost the rotor button.
I'd never heard of this before. But years ago my dad was on his way to a
car show in his 48 TR1800. It died on the road. We towed it home and started
trouble shooting. The rotor button. Then as he got to the show, there was
a RR broken down. Same problem - bad rotor button. A Morgan friend lost his
rotor button on the road last year. In fact he's lost 3 in the last year. He
said that there are a bunch that just aren't right. Then coming home from
a show in my Morgan, it just died on me. Guess what - bad rotor button.
