My venerable work horse has been difficult to start at various times since purchase four years ago. Have rebuilt then replaced the carburator, performed a tune-up about 3 yrs ago, and most recently replaced the battery. Still no go.

The rotor looks OK but one of the contacts in the dist. cap is almost 80% gone, but the other three contacts look OK. What does this mean (besides the need to replace the dist. cap)?

When I was able to start it about three months ago the engine did not run rough.
Thanks
