- I have a 1960 AH Sprite, 1275 engine, pertronix ignition, and Weber 45 DCOE. New plugs, new wires. After a couple of years in various states of repair, I've recently fired the engine up. It starts a

- Start with bigger pump jets. You can call Pierce Manifolds (Google them) and tell them about your engine and they can suggest the proper jetting to start with

- Make sure the ignition is firing when the rotor is aligned well with the correct spark post in the dizzy. If you're off a tooth, the slightest advance causes the spark to jump to the wrong post or no
