85 hp inline 4<br />I learned from an old thread that the rotor won't come off the shaft. 12 footer said you can clean up a pretty rough looking one and get service out of it, so that's what I'm going to do. I understand that the plug wires scew out of the cap but I can't get them to turn loose. I don't want to tear something up like I was about to do with the rotor, but the contacts need major cleaning. The inside of the cap looks like some body did a lot of welding then wet it down for good measure. Can some body tell me how to get the plug wires and especially the coil wire out of the cap. The 3 wires from the switch box to the upper part of the distributor feel rotten and I'd like to replace them, but I don't want to get it out of time. Any tips you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I have done about 10 years worth of neglected maintenance since November and I think I'm getting close. Every time I say that, something else pops up, but I AM gonna start crappie fishing in 2 weeks if I have to row the dern thing. Clymer is no help in this area and I have researched the old threads pretty well. Thanks ya'll.-G.
