so yesterday we have a classic car meeting
we drove around 4 hours,
3 hours no problems
then the car jerked, he didn't take the gas properly.
A few kilometres further in a bend he went all out without warning.
I tried to start, nothing happend
I released a banjo on the fuel line and immediately the gasoline pumpoe started,
a little gasoline went on the ground.
On the other side I looked at a spark plug, a little bit sooty but very little,
i tried to start the engine and took a look to the spark,no fire.
I screwed the spark plug back in, took a spare plug, the same, no fire.
Then the distributor cap was removed and checked, everything looked ok.
Then all cables at the distributor ignition coil checked, there I had lost a disc and replaced by a normal brass disc, which was apparently a little too small,
was that the problem?
Cable tries to push in as hard as possible, the car started, whether it was cooling down or the cable ???
Today I took a suitable brass disc and processed the cables with a large point of soldering tin, installed and drove
Today I drove in hot weather.
3 km to a gas station, 98er gasoline refueled
started, no problem,
2 km driven and somewhat unloaded
again, everything without any problems
i could accelerate perfectly
8 km further on, I think the engine was just warm, friends visited and talked for 15 minutes,
then tried to start, some problems, he didn't want to start first
then across the fields with about 80km , after 15 more km at home the car parked, 20 minutes waited, this time started at the 3rd time, some smoke from the exhaust pipe
4 km, the throttle is not quite optimal when accelerating fast and a bit jerky.
a problem with ignition ? i have a new ignition coil q12 from holden
that's it for today
??????
