QUOTE(Amphicar770 @ Apr 30 2017, 10:13 PM)  Might I have found the problem?? Bob's reply prompted me to check the cht connector. I reached down for the wire and it looks like it was already out of the harness connector or was at least certainly very loose as it was just there. Seems like that could be it although I thought a disconnected cht would cause cold start / cold running issues rather than when hot as I experienced. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed and thanks again. Disconnected CHT is going to flood the engine. On a stone cold engine it may fire up, briefly, then die. It will kill a warm or hot engine. If your CHT was disconnected or flaky, that's the problem (or at least one of them). |

[/quote] Seems like everybody has had this problem with their DJet at sometime or other. For me it turned out to be a bad connection to the trigger points on the side of the dizzy. I would wiggle the connection and it would start up right away. This happened a couple of times, several months apart. Finally I pulled the dizzy, cleaned the advance points plate, pulled and cleaned the trigger points, even tho all that looked clean and functional. Then twisted the connectors on the side of the dizzy with a small needle nose pliers just a bit, to get better contact in the plug. Solved my problem for several years. But I have to add that its in my garage now, some other problem this time, so I'll be rechecking my CHT,.. The trigger points connection is fine, fuel pump is fine,... Good luck. We're all watching and everybody else is wondering when it'll be their turn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Took her for a long ride today including some stop and go. Ran flawlessly.
I now have a rotor, cap, and cht sensor added to my trunk toolkit along with a voltmeter. Thanks again. |
