So I pulled apart my distributor and it was definitely sticking. You could turn it back a few degrees and the grease was dried up and sticky.
When I got it down to the centrifugal weights and springs at the base, one of the plastic spring mounts broke.
I am thinking a dab of jb weld over the end to keep the spring from leaving and flying up over it?
On the plus side it does not seem to stick at all anymore and goes right back to stop once you twist it.
I guess this is why everyone complains about these?
What a pain. At least nothing else broke. I doubt the little plastic spring seats are available.
Hopefully it will run close to right the spring had to be clamped a little bit to keep it on the shaft....
