you got it! happens a lot if you sleeve versus new cyl's and especially if you
do not clean the piston grooves properly. It can happen this way, however if
you can turn it over with the starter and it turns quick and easy, this is
probably not the issue, but if it turns over slowly or barely, this could be
the problem.

Dave may be thinking that the engine is tightening up from too close of a
piston/cyl fit....

how about some details on how it was overhauled and what parts were

replaced,

ie; new jugs? sleeved? etc?

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my 69 Ambassador that someone may be able to help

on. It has recently been overhauled and runs beautifully. I have put a

few

hundred miles on it since then. It would be safe to say that I havent

ridden

it for more than 20 minutes at one time with no problems. I was out

riding

the other day for maybe twice that long, ran great, came home and it died

the driveway and would not restart. I let it sit a couple minutes and it
popped right off. It would then run real nice, and then die after a few
seconds and once again, would not restart. I flipped the gascap up to

make

sure that wasnt the problem. Does this sound like a bad coil? Does anyone
have a spare they would sell??

Thanks,
Scott
