## 🔌 Function

Distributes the high tension spark from the rotor to each plug lead in the firing order, and keeps damp and dirt out of the distributor.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Misfire or stumble that is worst in damp weather or after a wash down
-   Hard starting, particularly first thing in the morning
-   Visible blue tracking lines or a fine crack inside the cap
-   Corroded or burnt brass segments and a worn centre carbon
-   Crackling from the ignition and a smell of ozone with the engine running in the dark

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Fit the rotor and the leads as a set if any of them are original, since a new cap on tracked leads will misfire again
-   Mark the lead positions before removal, and check the cap clamps or screws pull it down evenly
-   Always refer to the operator's manual for the recommended maintenance and service intervals for your engine and drive
