Guest wakeboarder_37122 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The distributor on my 81 zxt is making wierd noises mostly when it first starts up. Almost like a bearing. I pulled the distr. cap and rotor off, everything seemed to look fine. therefore it must be on the shaft. Has anybody had any problems with this before? What needs to be replaced, cleaned, or fixed? I searched and found nothing. thanks, joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeiss150 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 The distributor bushings are probably worn out. Check the inside of the distributor cap to see if the electrod points are are worn. The rotor might be making contact with the electrods in the cap (thats what happend to me) So I rebuilt the hole thing. There is an awesome website some where out in cyberspace that has step by step pictures how to rebuild it. I found this site http://www.jrdemers.com/280ZX/distributor/distribase.html the other web site is at atlanctic Z clubs web site ... its not working at the time that im writing this. check out this thread http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=109218&highlight=distributor+rebuild Good luck let us know how it goes.
