MF35 4 cyl Continental gas that I seldom start.
I am quite certain that the last time it ran for any amount of time that it was fine. That was about a year ago.
I tried to start it and it smoked from the external resistor for the coil and would not start.
Went to Automate and told the parts guy what the resistor was for and that it is the same resistor used on late 1960s and early 1970s Chryslers. He said he knew just what I was talking about and gave me a "Standard T-series" #RU4T resistor.
I put the new resistor on and it started right up and ran for about 3 minutes then quit like the key was shut off. It will not restart now. I felt of the external coil resistor and it was hot.
What is likely my problem? Should I try another resistor?
Thanks, Greg
