Now it won't start

Post by bubba931 »

Hi all,

I got the rebuild carbs on and hooked up, Yea!!!

Now it won't start. It acts like there is no power to the plugs, I here by myself and don't have a way to check.
I did some investigating and found 2 broke wires from the coil for the electronic ignition, but I don't have a clue how this system was set up. It came with the car. The wires were so brittle, when I touched one it literally just broke right off.

This shows the two blue connectors coming off the coil. The upper wire looks like it goes to the condenser.

The lower connector looks like it goes into the wiring harness, I'm not sure where it goes from there.

This is the name on the coil and the only info I have on it.

Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure as brittle as the wires were the least little movement and they broke off. When I drove the car home after taking it out of storage it ran really bad. The longer It ran the worse it got, I'm sure that was related to the broken wire.

I hope you guys can get me on the right track
