On my Triumph I was having issues with getting a smooth idle and decent fuel flow. Took carbs and distributor apart to see if anything was wrong.

Reassembled all and could not get car to start. It cranked awesome but would not fire.

Had a friend come over and we spent 3 hours trying to diagnose the problem. Removed the carbs twice to check. Could find nothing - but car cranked and cranked and cranked. Gave up for the evening with a heavy sigh and also the realization that a trip to the mechanic was in order.

Next morning attempted to see what was wrong. Still no luck. Decided to organize my various spare parts simply for something to do. That's when I discovered that instead of one spare rotor I had two spares ...... DOH!!!!

Oh, we had looked at the open distributor at least 10 or 20 times the night before.
