Re: Hard to start flathead
I have not changed out the coil. I'll look into doing that also.

Re: Hard to start flathead
You could just get one of those inexpensive "Blue Flame" 6V coils, with the built-in resistor, and hook that up for an easy check of the coil. Regardless, that will then provide you with a "spare" that you can take with you in your emergency tool kit.

Re: Hard to start flathead
Do you mean "Blue Streak"? I could not find any "Blue Flame" coils.

Re: Hard to start flathead
This may have already touched on but make sure the weights in the distributor are moving freely
