So, voltage regulator or wiring harness?
I'm thinking the wiring harness had built up too much resistance to allow good spark. In an earlier post i mentioned it only had 7V on the hot wire going into the ballast resistor. That told me there was something screwy with the wiring. At that point I decided to get back to basics and replace the harness before then checking other things along the way. It was a small hope and really wasn't expecting it to start. But hey, I will take the win!So, voltage regulator or wiring harness?
Sounds like it could be a bit lumpy but until I tune it properly i cant say for sure. That will come soon. I swapped in the new valve covers today too. Stay tuned.nice... So, you think they put a pretty "wild" camshaft in there too? I'm sure I have it in the papers somewhere, just wondered what you though from hearing it run.
Yup I had a win, but with every rainbow comes a dark lining, I went to try and weld a crack on a mower today and blip, the welder went dead.You must feel very, very, good today.

Sometimes a win is gain by paying attention to something that might seem minor, but it changes the whole game.I'm thinking the wiring harness had built up too much resistance to allow good spark.

Wiring harness??
Thermostat.Ballast resistor??
