If you can feel an obvious difference with your thumb you know with 100% certainty your motor is munted .

Greg - do you recall any hesitation etc in previous boosted runs ?
But what if BOTH rotors were screwed, then you wouldnt notice a difference right? Or is that a very unlikely situation.

/\ we are talking about catastrophic failure here - not just a little wear .

You WILL notice this and there will be no doubt in your mind .

It is highly unlikely that all chambers of both rotors will be munted .

/\ I know exactly how you feel Greg . I didn't want to go near my car for several days after she blew .
I did have a fair idea what went wrong with mine though - yours is more of a mystery .
Any chance a lead is loose on one of your coils/plugs ?
