Hi all,

I moved last summer was not able to take my 'A' with me right away. The car has not fully run since August, but was running fine before then. Now that I can move the car, I can't get it to start.

In the past if my A wouldn't start, I always found the problem in the electrical as I'm sure most of you have. This time the battery is almost brand new and fully charged, I have 6 Volts at both sides of the coil, distributor wire is OK, points are clean, plugs are clean, distributor is greased, air filter is clean, oil is clean and full.

By now I am chasing gremlins and nothing seems to get it going. It turns over all right and every now and then I get a few kicks out the engine like it wants to start, but it never does. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
