Smile Results Of "Can You Diagnose This" . . .

With regards to that post of mine a few days ago - to FB II and Mar3, thanks guys for the constructive comments and eventual advice that lead to the solvation of the problem. - While anything is possible and it COULD have been "a bad motor" or "thrashed Rotor" - thank god - it was just a $30.00 set of LEADS - I threw in some new plugs for good measure - and the girl is running sweeter than ever !! (Thank God !)

I'm so glad I didnt go for the $1650.00 refresh that my local Rotary Shop suggested. . .

I'm glad you did your homework and everything worked out! It just goes to show that you should be real careful with any info you're told on the Internet.

Here here - although, MOST of the guys on here are very helpful. I am very mechanically challenged and have ZERO knowledge of things mechanical, just never got into that. But I really do enjoy owning and driving my 7. I have had a heap of help and fixed quite a few things thanks mostly to the dudes on here that always seem to WANT to help. . . very appreciative!!

i had that happen all the time on my turbo POS. Started sounding like it was running on one rotor, really hard to start. first time I whipped out my trusty rotary compresison guage, and im like 100+ hummm. needless to sya spent half the day on it. In desperation I go get new plugs.. now guess what, it was fouled plugs. Anyways, about once a year I have to get new plugs, it is constantly needing them, well thats what we get for having a forcefed motor.
