Here's the deal.
It's 85 deg ambient. Oil temp 100c. Last of 10 AX runs. Wide guts in 2nd and.....backfire...black smoke, flames out the exhaust....cool. No spark. Sumthin in the ignition went poof. NO warning Whatcha think? MSD (it was hot to the touch) Pertronix (got a spare) Coil? Cap & rotor are OK. Magnetic Pertronix thingy on the dizzy is ok. I let the thing cool down for 3 hours, but no joy......permanent daid. |
