Brown" <debrown@concentric.net>; Date: Fri, 08 Aug 1997 00:08:57 +0000; Hello all, And thank you very much to everyone who sent suggestions! The problem is still unsolved, but definitely is electrical in nature. To reiterate: Turn Key, result: Car will *run* as long as s; /html/mgs/1997-08/msg00426.html (8,160 bytes)

I'm unfamiliar with the wiring of Midgets, didn't even know that they u; /html/mgs/1997-08/msg00463.html (8,902 bytes)

My Midget doesn't have electronic ignition. There isn't a squiggly line drawn on my wiring diagram. The ballast resistor I'm talking about i; /html/mgs/1997-08/msg00526.html (8,231 bytes)

I installed one in my Midget a while back. Apparently, that little trick is no big secret. It is not, howe; /html/mgs/1997-08/msg00530.html (8,153 bytes)

If so it is proabably broken. I had the exact same thing happen to an old plymouth I had. Seems it would run full voltage to the coil to start and then once the key w; /html/mgs/1997-08/msg00534.html (8,939 bytes)

The 77 Midget has a resistance wire, which you can find in a splice in the front wiring harness right in the center above the horns, and the other end lies in a splice wit; /html/mgs/1997-08/msg00536.html (9,700 bytes)
