trouble getting flat8 started
I have a 41 flat8 and left the key on for a few days...recharged the battery now no fire...cranks fine and powerfully but no spark...new to flatties and not sure if I burnt something...points? coil? what do I look for?

Probally Burndt Up The Points,try Replacing Them First!!
|
Most likely the points are welded closed, it's an easy fix.
|
i'm havin the same problem! gonna check that out first thing tomorrow, after i get home from work!
thanks guys! |
pull the cap and have someone spin the motor for you and see whats going on. I had the same problem and the ground wire in the distributer had a bad connection.
|
Check the wire from the points that goes to that stud throught the side of the housing. Mine had a plastic washer to keep the primary wire from grounding out, it had cracked from age and grounded out.
|
hey. dad and i opened the distributor and sprayed some electric cleaner in it. closed her up... and now she fires instantly on the first crank!!!
