Good evening:
My previous post from the other day is below. After looking over the advice given, i checked the points and they looked good, and had the proper gap. The rotor looked in good condition as did the inside of the distributor cap. However, when i tested the plugs, i am getting no spark at all. Would this possibly be caused by a bad coil? Is there a way to test the coil to see if it is bad?
Thank you
[i:cbd124f713]Hello:
I own a 1951 8N. In the 11 years i have owned it, she has never had trouble starting...until today. The engine cranks very nicely, but i get the smell of fuel quickly, and she never catches. The first thing i did after she wouldn't start was change out the sparkies (H-12's) for a fresh set of 437's, but she still wouldn't catch. There were a few drops of gasoline coming off the bottom of the carb. Can anyone suggest a next step in diagnosing this issue? [/i:cbd124f713]
