    Question 4K Distributor Problem

    Hey,

    I noticed after a long drive in my 4k-equipped KE70 the other day there was a high pitched whirring noise coming from the distributor. I took the cap off and cranked it over and it still made the noise. So I removed the points and replaced them (had a spare, plus they were on their way out anyway).

    This appeared to fix the problem. However, after another 300-oddkm drive later that day the noise re-appeared. It's got me stumped. I'm no whiz with distributors either.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Cheers,

    Alex
