mmmm turk kee. On Rye with lettuce and tomato. So yummy.

OK sorry... I do love turkey though. A suggestion for you would be to download and install firefox web browser. It doesn't do much for grammar, but it will let you know that you have spelled something wrong, and a right click on the offending word will bring up suggestions. Maybe the new Internet Explorer does this as well (?) but that's just my suggestion. It was also good advise to go back and read what you wrote (as I just did with this post and made some corrections)

Communication of a problem is key to getting help with it, as you have already surmised above....

good luck getting her running again.

I got this...

goldie gonna wait, head check first coil, pull off the wire turn er over, should have big spark, put back on wire. check second coil, should have same big arc, have somone check for arcs while you turn over. Would change coils since they are stock anyways. Maybe try scrapyard, see if you find some. would check cap rotor just incase, make sure no cracks.

pull off spark plug wire and ground out, see what color spark is coming off wire. update us. The fusible link should be ok since your getting spark.




lol, I grew up in South Louisiana, I guess its easier for me to read then some....... its a bad thing.
