- I've encountered a new problem with the roadster. It won't start. I crank it and it fires, stumbles, and dies. After that first try, it won't fire at all. I thought I'd flooded it, but since I've had

- First thing is to insure that you have spark. Crank it and get to the 'no fire' state. Remove a spark plug wire, stick a screw driver up the boot, and hold it about 1/8" from bare metal. (If you are

- Same with the Crane HI6 (and probably also the MSD, etc.). The darn spark looks like an arc welder! Gordon Glasgow Renton, WA www.gordon-glasgow.org /// datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net mailing list /

- I can't recall why I did this but I once left one of the spark plug wires off the cap and witnessed a spark jump out of the cap, down the outside of the distributor and to the engine block. This was

- Well, We're getting a spark. A fuel problem kept me off the road for months not that long ago, I hope I track this gremlin down quicker :-( == Marc Tyler Sisterdale TX 1970 1600 #SPL311-31016 1965 L-

- The Hall effect transistor that mkes the pertronix is nothing more than a very efficient magnetic switch. The fact that it generates such a spark is done by the fact that it creates the maximum rise

- I'm not familiar with the Pertronix setup. Mine has a Delta (over 25 years and still going strong!) that uses the stock coil setup. It was call a 'dwell extender' or 'capacitor discharge'. Basically

- Try checking the plugs. If it is flooding the plugs should be fuel wet and/or have a coating of soot. If the plugs check out, check for fuel starvation or lack of choke. Best regards, Fred Schroeder
