yes the trailings work during startup. i have started and run my 12a on just the trailings! probablly just the trailing ignitor failing again. does the tachometer work whilst cranking? it should. otherwise trailing ignitor is dead.

We put new plugs in it before they test drove it, and when it flooded out a few hours later, the leadings were jet *** black from the untuned carb, but the trailings were squeaky clean.

The tach has worked since I put the car together.

I do not know what to think.
