Do most dizzy caps have a springy pin in the centre?

Postby snwtoy » Sat Oct 29, 2005 3:09 pm

Just asking as my pug one doesn't, and it won't start. Looks like a regular dizzy cap, but there's no apparent way for signal to get from the coil cable onto the rotor...

I'm wondering if it's disentegrated - there are some heat marks on the plastic. Bloody thing will cost $65 to replace from repco :(:(
