3B cap replacement

[Ben Swann]

Obtain correct rotor or alternatively, machine the more common wide rotor down to 10mm
at the tip.

Simply crush the old one with mondo-pliers.   If you have, put diealectric grease on the
new one.  Why the H*** they glued the original rotors on like that is a mystery to me.

The material that acts to conduct from center to tip is a composite - carbon embedded on
epoxy like substance.  It degrades over time and use.  It does not make sense to not
replace with a new one.

Well my engine bucking continues.  Somebody mentioned "good luck" before when I thought
I had it solved.  I cockily replied " no luck needed - it's solved"  When will I
learn???
 
Anyway - it has actually gotten worse.  Something is not happy.
 
What say you guys about replacing the dizzy cap but not rotor?  
reason I ask is because the special rotor is glued on - and I think I will definitely
have to remove the IM (this is in an urq where it is more crowded than in a 200) to do a
cap and rotor - where as if I just do the cap I might be able to sneak it in.
 
Obviously it's worth the effort if you really need to do both....
 
Thanks-
