first start, i cant get it to run for more than 10 seconds...just coughs and dies. I think its my points going south, they're pretty pitted which looked wild. I'm either holding out for a good set of BOSCH points and condensor, or just going with Pertronix altogether. If someone has an extra one, could I borrow it and pay you back when I get my job?
Anywho, second start, I have to rev it to around 2500-3000 for 15 seconds, and then its okay. idles at 1600 or so until warm then idles at 1000. I can hear it missing a little, but again i think its from the points. FLAPS has the shittiest points set i have EVER seen. anybody have any hints or do you concur with my diagnosis? b |

IIRC Compufire gets more favorable reviews around here although I have used both Compufires and Pertronics. either unit will significatly smooth out idle and make it start more easily than points.
You are correct to chase down ignition performance first. check your plugs while your in there. alto check your plug wires . As an l-Jet owner, I should not have to remind you about vacuum leaks, right (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
