She started tonight. After tracking down everything, pulling the Dizzy to clean EVERYTHING" new points and condensor. I attempted to start her up. Nothing. Started cleaning up for the night, looked down to see the condensor wire not attached. Ok attach it attempt to start, nothing, put it on the wrong side of coil. Reattached to correct side, Dizzy loose as I don't own a timing light right now. Attempt to start, nothing. Continue to clean and remembered that someone said to remove the TACH wire from the coil. So I did. Attempt to start, motor started turning faster and faster, a good sign. Get out reach in and give her a twist. SHE FIRED, ran really, really rough. Rev a couple of time, jump out and start twisting. She started to idle higher and smooth out. I was doing the Chicken Dance in the drive way when the wife pulled in. EAR TO EAR GRIN, Shes alive. First words out of my wifes mouth, it smokes alot. Sorry for the long post I'm just really excited. Now what does removing the TACH wire have to do with the price of tea in China? How do I repair that. All the lights work. That's a +. The low beams dont work, one high beam does?????? Could be as simple as new head lights. Did I mention that I was excited.

Congrats!! The headlights each have thier own fuses, and seperate high and low beam fuses. It may be that simple. If not, they each have their own grounds. Clean them.

I'll be checking these today. And getting a GOOD Fire Extengisher. Having a running motor is better than making Vrooom Vrooooom noises. Smitty |
