    Okay . . . 2 1/2 years of being in 1,000 pieces. Slowly put back together . . . but wouldn't start. I followed your trouble-shooting ideas. I ordered the parts (coil and condenser). The order was lost for two weeks (not Rovers North). I anxiously waited. Today the parts came. I put in the coil . . . still nothing, not one hit. No detectable spark. I was skeptical I would ever get this solved. I put in the condenser (I've been in on brain surgery that was easier to get to than the condenser screw). Five full cranks . . . . YES! YES! YES! Dundee runs like a top . . . except the accelerator is sticking. But that will be an easy fix. The accelerator bar running through the new footwells was tight. I need to enlarge the hole. But, the important thing SHE RUNS!! So thanks so much for your help.

      Nice!

      Not sure what kills condensers, but they seem as if they can go bad by just sitting around.
