well, i had to replace the Ignition Switch cause i broke it accentendly, but anyway... she would start after fiddlin around with the choke... would run for about 15 sec and then die...
Im thinking that the car is having electrical Probs,
The guy before me(not gnubberlang) made a Fuel Pump Cut Off switch, that had on and off, with a little light that came on when it was ON, now that light isnt coming on... and the carb doesnt seem to be getting fuel...I duno... thats why i was hopping someone could come and help me(now offering Free Nikki Carb for helping)

ill try that latter today.
One of the other things i did was turn off the fuel switch, pulled the choke and started, she ran for 5 sec and died, after that, not only the switch stoped working, but the choke wont stay pulled out when the car is in the ON Pos, i hope to GOD i didnt blow a rotor seal, like leaning out the mixture and killing it... seemed to want to run when i kept turning it over(constantly) btw it also smoked alittle white/gray smoke when i first started it up, but not a bunch... is that normal?

BTW, does anyone have a diagram of the Fuel Lines and Electrical stuff?

God i hope its not blown...
Tim.
