Default T starting

Hi
I'm a Model A'er but have a friend with a 26 T, electronic ign, not sure whose.
Has a "horrible" time getting it started.

When it is running does it sound out of time? I don't know anything about modern ignition timing in a Model T.

My model T has a hard tim starting. When I crank it over it sounds like it miss fireing. It will fire up a few sparks and die. It's still uses the wooden box coils.
