OK BOSS

YOU CAN ALWAYS JUMP BACK ON YOUR 1ST POST----OR THIS ONE NOW.............IF YOU WANT ME TO ANSWER

KINDA WOULD MAKE IT EZer FOR ME.......THE OTHER FELLERS MAY NOT SEE YOU, UNLESS THEY LOOK HARD!

I WILL FIND YOU ANYWAY-----CJs ARE MY THING!.....................THEY ARE THE WHOLE REASON I STARTED ANSWERING ON HERE ANYWAY

OK JUST TO SORTA GET YOU FIGGERED OUT FAST....AS FAR AS WHICH WAY TO INVESTGATE


OUR 1ST TEST-----BATTERY MUST BE GOOD

I WANT YOU TO DUMP 2 SPOONFULS OF GAS DOWN THE CARB-----IN OTHER WORDS NOT A WHOLE LOT

TRY IT------DOES IT START?........SPIT/ SPUTTER AS IF IT WANTS TO?...............DRY OVER AND OVERS NOT EVEN TRYING TO BUST OFF????

REPORT BACK WITH RESULTS

THEN PULL #1's PLUG WIRE OFF----SHOVE A NAIL, PAPERCLIP, ETC INSIDE THE RUBBER BOOT, IN BETWEEN THE CONTACT AND THE RUBBER

HOLD THE PLUG WIRE W/ NAIL (THE NAIL) ABOUT A 1/4 INCH OR LESS (HOVER) FROM SHINY METAL ON THE ENGINE OR A BRACKET (DOING THIS IN A SHADED AREA WORKS BEST!).....HAVE YOUR BUDDY TURN THE ENGINE OVER WITH THE KEY......ARE WE GETTING A STRONG BLUE "POPPING" SPARK FROM THE NAIL TO THE BRACKET????

SEND RESULTS


I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHAT MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE ENGINE IGNITION THAT ARE NOT FACTORY

I HAVE A '77 MYSELF----I FOUND AND UPGRADED SOME OF MY STUFF, AS THE FACTORY CRAP (IN '76-'78) ----DIDN'T WORK SO GREAT---IN '79 MODELS THEY DID THINGS BETTER


I'M GONNA SEARCH FOR YOUR OTHER POST NOW

SEE WHAT WE MAY HAVE ALREADY COVERED---NEED TO REVIEW---OR NEED SOME NEW LESSONS

OK I'M BACK---YOU ARE ONE OF THE RECENT POSTS!.....STILL FRESH IN MY HEAD!

I HAVE MORE TESTS---WANNA KNOW FUEL DOWN THE CARB RESULTS 1ST

SEND ME SOME PICS OF BOTH SIDES OF YOUR ENGINE

THIS MAY NOT TAKE TOO LONG------DID YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY WHILE MESSING WITH YOUR SIGNALS?
