Hi all,
I feel like I've tried everything, so I'm appealing to to the sage wisdom of the board.
ok - 74 1.8 Ljet. Was running - albeit started getting a little rough - so I thought maybe the timing was off, or needed new points - etc. Tune up stuff.
Had a really weak spark coming off #s 1&2.
I got a new: Coil, Wires, Cap, Rotor, points, and condenser (which i noticed was hooked to the + side of the coil.. which I thought was kinda weird it had been running fine at all.
Anyway - when i put it all back together - i made sure that:
Notch on fan was at TDC when cylinder 1 valves were all the way in.
Dizzy - and rotor (pointing at notch) are in the right spot (if not close enough).
Points gaped at .016 (at least until I can get running to put the dwell meter on it)
I DO have 12 volts at the coil.
But - it will start. Not even a stumble.. nothing.
Ideas?
Thanks!! - mike
