-- [ From: Bob Nogueira * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] --
Had a similar problem when I tried to start my B after a engine
rebuild. turned out to be two fouled plugs and and two wires on the
wrong plugs.
Now I always put those plastic ties which have the one way lock on the
wires. One tie on cly #1, two ties on Cly #2 etc. Never get wires
crossed anymore.

no Polar Bears at the South Pole, and no Penguins in the Arctic.
