Hello all,
1973 Series III EX-MOD battery died in the cold, got it running, battery is now ok, will crank, but not fire. After the jumpstart and subsequent charging of the battery, the firing was very slow and labored, but it ran. That was 3 days ago. Now, it will just try to start with no catch, no fire. Battery and plugs are 6 months old, I cleaned up the rotor arm, the inside of the cap looks clean, am I on the right track with timing/firing? There is fuel in the carb, along with the occasional shot of starter fluid just for good measure, it doesn't seem to be a grounding etc. issue as I have all the lights and decent cranking. Thoughts?
Thanks.
