When the starter motor is running there is 12v going to the coil -
White/ Blue wire. When you turn the key to Run position the White wire on
the ignition switch goes through the Tach to the ballast resistor to the
coil.
Your able to fire the engine in start position. Run position it
quits.
Check all along the white wire from the ignition switch to the coil for good
connections or bad wires.
Sometimes a ballast resistor will short to ground.
Its possible the fuel system is the problem too. Starting condition would
go to no start at all if true.
Can you hear the electric fuel pump work?
If no; check that the fuel pump is working
If yes.
Is the fuel bowl of the carb full of fuel?
If no; fuel filter or line maybe clogged.
If yes; system should be OK.

Hey guys. Again I come to drink at the well.
I live in Northern Utah and it's still pretty cold here but I pulled the
Tiger out, charged the battery and fired it up. Fires up great then
immediately quits. Fired it up and immediately quits.
The starter miter gas always had a hard time disengaging after the start
anyway, which I need to fix, (some kind of rewiring issue needed) but as I
start it, the engine sounds great, for Agee seconds as long as I have the
starter motor engaged. Quits immediately when it's on it's own,
After a few tries, I see a steam out of a heater hose fitting.
Immediately rolled it back into the garage worried about oil and coolant.
Haven't had time to run through a check list. Would love to have some
thoughts and ideas on what that check list should look like.
Thanks ahead of time
