slow starting - diagnosis with timing light 200

posted by  someone claiming to be 81242DLB21FCA on  Mon Jul 26 04:01 CST 2004 [RELATED]

An ignition problem that's always there on start, always fixes itself, and never occurs during running does sound a bit far out. However, it's easy enough to verify. Lift the coil HT wire enough to see/hear the spark and have someone start it. If you get the same result check the power to the high side of the coil and pulses to the low side with a lamp or meter.
