Rotor
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the rotor 00591-10754-81 and what does it do?
A: The rotor is an internal component of the distributor that rotates and delivers ignition pulses from the coil to the distributor cap contacts, which then route the pulse to each spark plug in firing order sequence.
Q: What are symptoms of a faulty rotor 00591-10754-81?
A: Symptoms include rough idle, engine stalling, difficulty starting, misfiring under load, and reduced power. You may also observe arcing or carbon tracking inside the rotor tip. If ignition timing is off, always inspect the rotor along with the distributor cap.
Q: How do I replace the rotor 00591-10754-81?
A: Remove the distributor cap. The rotor is typically held by a single screw or bolt to the distributor shaft. Remove the fastener and old rotor. Install the new 00591-10754-81 rotor onto the shaft, secure it with the fastener, and reinstall the cap in the original position.
Q: Should I replace the rotor and distributor cap together?
A: Yes. Both components work together and wear at similar rates. Replacing them together ensures optimal ignition performance and reduces the likelihood of repeat maintenance. This is cost-effective and prevents future downtime.
Q: How long does a rotor typically last on a forklift?
A: Rotor lifespan depends on operating hours, electrical load, and engine condition. Most rotors last 15,000 to 30,000 operating hours. Inspect the rotor during routine distributor maintenance and replace if carbon buildup, arcing, or erosion is visible.
