Kind a like a lot of things, about name it. Some get away with the stuff they pull and some don’t. Problem is – nobody knows who will and who won’t. Would also be a crime if they impound these rides to sit in some parking areas exposed to the elements…aside from being a dumbass thing to do.
I’m late to the party on this one, but I agree the deck surface is quite rough.
Too rough for a steel gasket imo.
You made the tight call by going to the composition gasket.
Understood, but the lawyer speak is annoying. Then you get a free pass with new stuff, because safety be damned we need newer cars in staging lanes. I'm all for keeping my pieces attached, but wordy indirect sentences leave dumb people behind and their only defense is to fail you and then you...
IMO......just replace the coil as it's the easiest to change (by substantiation)....rather than fussing with all these tests suggested......you'll know conclusively wjich component is defective......
BOB RENTON .
Ok.. I will try that tomorrow afternoon for sure. I'm trying not to burn dinner right now.
If the engine does start.... that mean the coil just went bad and everything is fine?
I would of wired things differently in regards to eliminating the ballast resistor and full 12 V
Quick test
Run a jumper wire from positive side ignition coil to positive side battery and see if it starts quick when cranking over - Leave other wires hooked up to ignition coil
Let us know...
Also, please let us know or show a photo of where exactly the coil ground cable is connected on the other end. If it's to the head, sometimes this can be a poor ground and cause coil overheating.
With my blaster 2 I use a 1-ohm ballast resistor, but I have a Firecore electronic distributor.
