Default ROTOR AND CAP 1990

Just changed the rotor and cap and the ignition transfomer
the part that goes under the transformer and touches the center of the rotor the sponge with the spring and piece of metal it was broken would this have affected my starting and operation

Well I don't completely grasp the pic but if the rotor isn't making good contact is't not a good thing.

Well, if I translated his post correctly he's referring to the coil (transformer); but I don't have a clue as to what the sponge is.

Oh, wait, he means spring. The high resistance bushing has a spring on it. Now it makes sense.
