i feel your pain you know of the issues i had on said drive.

just saw something this weekend on a car show...the battery might be showing the correct volts but the amps were way low.

might have the battery place check your cold cranking amps first....if the battery is suspect then that might be all you have to worry about.

then its the fun part of tracking down where the gap in your starting sequence is.

Get everythng taken care of, yeah?

Well...we tracked it down. Updated the opening post. Turned out to be the green disconnect or whatever on the ground lug.

everything running great since i did a partial tune up and JW helped me out with the rest of the tune. didn't have a timing light so i was going blind on the timing, and it was quite retarded. the original appt was for some oil seals to replace, so "lil smokie" doesnt smoke anymore.

i have one of those disconnect thingies too. john said i could take it off if i liked, but at least clean up the two surfaces of it to make sure that was making a good contact. i like having it for now. make is easy to do any electrical repairs so it stays for now.



glad you figured out you problem.

I remember smething about a "glass of water trick" which involved placing a glass of water on the engine and adjusting the timing till the waves in the water cancelled each other out and the water became as still as possible. I used this trick on my old 924 years ago, and it semed to work pretty well.

Glad to hear that "lil smokie is no longer a fire hazard.

That's what the water is for.....
