Larry's being a bitch

Post by glen1n »

well, lately larry has been going soft up hills, even on road. couple o days ago on the highway it was losing power and backfiring. changed the timing and it was running like a dream, even accellerating in 4th and 5th gear!!!!! but then after i started it up a day later, as soon as i would accellerate it would lose power and stall. Changed the points in it, and it went around the block very well. Thought it was fine, untill i started it again on the way to work last night and is doing the same again. please help, i need my larry.

Cheers
Glen

I think if the condessor is dead it will kill the pionts more quickly?

maybe a try.

cheers

Are , reason for a sad larry is poor maintenence , Get your larry serviced by Young buxom blonde , MMM larry be happy :)

Just a thought , If you have changed the coil Lately and have used a
e;ectronic one on a pionts ignition , they will play havoc with the pionts
and eat them on a regular basis .

Check your ballast resistor, condensor and possibly coil. All can fry the points if screwed up.

Also check the Dissy cap for cracks & leads for resistance. If its on gas the leads are most important.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
