I got a call this morning, A good friend of mine call me up and siad he been fight a problem all weekend.. His son "fix" his car friday as a surprise for him.. did a full tune up.. And sence then it wouldnt start.. He took it to a local shop and had it there all mornin Saturday.. Still no luck.. There was no spark.. He checked the points, the coil and all the wires.. So I went over this morn.. I pulled the dist cap.. and the first thing I said was was where the "Rotor" His whole problem was a missing rotor.. LMAO.. Funny what people will over look when looking to hard for a problem..

 

Good point; we had a truck which died on the road not too long ago. Checked the fuel filter third thing instead of first thing. Problem solved.

 

My son used to work for AutoZone and was forever telling me how dumb the customers were. I kept telling him he was exaggerating (being a know-it-all), til he told me this one:

He sold a battery to a guy who lived way out in the styx, and the guy called a couple hours later to say the battery was a no-good POS. My son told him to bring it back. When he got back to the store (60+ mile drive), the battery still had the plastic protector cap on the negative terminal, and it had scrape marks from pushing the terminal over it!

 

Oh! Ya mean you're supposed to take the plastic things off the battery post thingimagigs???
