Ran fine, parked it, runs like crap ten minutes later
I drove the car 25 miles on my lunch break, parked it at my house, went inside. Ten minutes later the car barely idles. So I thought the leading ignitor died. I swapped the ignitors around and no combination works. Is it possible all mine are dead? (I have one extra. I changed L with the extra and then swapped the trailing into leading and still no effect.
Otherwise I guess it feels like a vacuum leak but I don't know where it would come from. Any ideas? |
Timing where it should be? I used to have a problem where the bolt you loosen to adjust timing was loose and the dizzy would tend to rotate towards a retarded ignition position.

If the trailing ignitor was dead, the fuel pump would not run. I would be checking the rest of the ignition system, then move on to the fuel system.

Unless he had bypassed the relay already ;)
Easiest test for trailing ignitor is, is the tach working? |
also, since the car was fine one minute and crap the next, i would suspect something askew with the carb or fuel filter clogging. i'm thinking a sticking float. check your spark and verify that you are in fact getting fuel.
