Re: Trouble shoot 1950 8Ba initial start up Help

If you’re using repro condenser and points they are junk. I had problems on initial start up because of weak spark. Bought NORS condenser and point and it started right up.

That makes a lot of sense. I installed it on my 8BA engine, no problems. Thanks for your thoughts
