Re: 29 A turns over won't start
To all who helped - this morning, I went out, checked for fuel, checked the points, pulled a plug and checked for spark - all there. Turned the switch on and hit the starter and it started right up...

Re: 29 A turns over won't start
Thanks Patrick - yes, I do have a fuse and it "seems to be good." I will check the points because I just think the problem has something to do with corrosion that occurred through the winter. First I...

29 A turns over won't start
I have a good battery - turns the engine over but no horn and no lights. Is this an issue with the ignition switch or should I be checking all grounds and connections?

Re: Backfiring
Ok, I got some things figured out. I followed the recommendation sent by Johnbuckley and the problem - is not electrical. Great coil spark, good condenser, points, plugs carboned but good - gapped...

Re: Backfiring
One other thing I have not done yet is check the coil. I do get spark at the plug, but when I think about it, it is not a great zapper! could be under pressure the spark is weak?

Re: Backfiring
Thanks for this Johnbuckley - a little more information - today, with a bit of starter fluid, it fired up. I let it warm up and took it down the road - ran fine. I turned around and when I got into...
