Hello Fellas,
I'm having trouble getting my 9N to start and have learned that there are several ways to choose from that might fix the problem.
My engine has the old style points in the distributor right now. But the spark is so darn weak, she won't start up. I've heard that the starter pulls the battery down so much that there really isn't much juice left for the ignition system. To fix the problem, it was suggested to me to put in an 8 volt battery (which I had never heard of before). I've checked it out and in fact they do make such an animal.
But before I had heard of this idea, I had heard of another possible solution. Change the old point scheme out for the newer automotive type of electronic ignition.
I wouldn't be opposed to having them both on this old boy, but I'm a fearing that the 8 volt might damage the electronic gizmoe (that conciquently hasn't yet arrived).
Has any of you fellas tried or heard of someone that tried to match up one of these ignitions to an 8 volt battery before? Is it okay to do? :roll:
