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. |

The failed item is just above my shoulders.
I sprung for a new MSD and started to do the install. I had some adult supervision (old Chuck). He's rootin' around in the engine room and pulls off the secondary coil leads....I think I've found the problem, says he. Both leads had gotten into the fan and......well, you can guess. Snip, snip...crimp, crimp.....varoom. So now I have this NIB, MSD 6AL for sale....never even opened it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Works on a 4, 6, or 8....$150 plus shipping. I'd just as soon sell it to one of youz guys as pay a restocking fee to Summit. |
