Hey there. I took cap off cleaned and adj points to .19-.20. Now it fires right up, but only runs for a few min then just dies and will not start for a bit.
It's a 87 I do believe.
I'm thinking about doing away with the points. Seems to fire right up every time I clean and adjust points. I've read that it may be a bad coil after it gets hot??? Tested ok though.
So two things I can suggest from previous experience...1) Make certain that you cap and wires are correctly wired for the firing order. 2) Make for very very certain that your carb is clean.
Once you fixed the spark issue and it fires but wont stay running, sounds to me like a lack of fuel in the form of plugged jets.
Thanks for the help. I finally decided to tear the carb apart and found that the jets where all clogged. Cleaned them up and put back together, running pretty good now. Have a carb rebuild kit on the way.
