Re: Assuming Electrical (No power to Starter or Car)

Ok -

Checked and cleaned batter connections. Getting plenty of voltage off the battery all the way to junction box. Checked Coil is ok giving off 1.6 OHMS.

Any other suggestions?

Rough Idle / Smoke out of tailpipe

Re: Dropped oil pan - findings / question

Ed - I was thinking the carburetor might need to be looked at. My last resort was to pull and clean it.

3. I did retime the car...

Re: Oh man. Now I can’t even get my A to start or make a noise.

I’ll try that.

It spun freely when I had it out. Not I can’t even get it to do anything.

Re: Oh man. Now I can’t even get my A to start or make a noise.

Engine will turn with crank. However that’s all it will do.

If using the starter-nothing I mean nothing happens when I hit the starter. No sound or anything.

Re: Oh man. Now I can’t even get my A to start or make a noise.

Thanks fellas. I replaced the starter switch as well. So that is out.

I also do not have a tachometer so nothing there to try.

Re: Oh man. Now I can’t even get my A to start or make a noise.

Robert that was my thoughts. Especially since I always have it on the charger / conditioner.
Also I have an Alternator.

Dick - check the connections and cleaned them up as well. Still nothing.

Re: No Start - Loud Pops

Dave - sorry but what tool do I need to check the points?

I’ll check for leaks in the meantime.

Thanks.
