[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 498329, member: 3278"] [B]Points have to be closed until coming up the cam lobe. When closed they saturate the primary side of the coil windings and supply the first step in the ignition process My guess is that you used aftermarket parts. Sierra points are widely known to not line up among other issues. If you still have your original OEM points then lightly dress the contact surfaces and re-install. Aftermarket coils are the same way. They do not line up and often the center coil laminates are too far away from the flywheel magnets to supply spark at low cranking speeds. Sierra condensers are known to fail out of the box. Third.....if you are draining fuel out the front of the carb but your plugs do not smell like fuel you may have water in your fuel. [/B] [/QUOTE]
