Re: My no start situation...

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxx>]

Your problem is most likely in a component that is exposed in the 
engine compartment. I am suspecting two possibilities. The fuel pump 
is not running because the RPM pickup on the coil is not making a 
good connection or, more likely, the voltage increase relay in the 
engine compartment needs to be removed and reinserted or replaced. 

This relay is often overlooked and can cause a hard start if it is 
not supplying the increased voltage to the coil when the starter 
motor is turning. The connections on the relay are all exposed and 
removing and reinserting it can assure a good contact. Check the 
blue/yellow wire connection down by the starter motor too. This is 
the voltage supply wire going to that relay. Sometimes that plug-
connection can become contaminated. Smearing a little "bulb grease" 
on the connections will keep moisture off of them. It is probably a 
good idea to check and clean all the connections on the ignition 
resistor while you're at it.

Check and clean the coil wires at the coil connection. A 
little "bulb grease" on the connections will help keep the moisture 
out too.
