Default Re: wireless lower distributor plate

I had Nurex wireless modern setup installed in 2012., Went back to original design. Nurex worked OK for awhile, then started getting stall at stop, poor low speed idle, motor missing under heavy load going up hills from a full stop. After going back with original plates issues were gone, problems have not returned. While troubleshooting tried different condenser, different distributor lead, different cap, different dist. body, different carb, different points, different coil, different plugs, etc., etc. Finally went back to original plates to fix it.


My theory is the wireless contact between the plates degraded (resistive), and when the rpms were lower the generator allowed voltage to drop to a loaded battery voltage, and the poor contact in the plates gave me poor spark.
