<DIV></DIV>>Hi All,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I've been helping a friend with his Ambo project and he came across an
<DIV></DIV>>interesting situation that I thought I might seek some input from the list.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>While working on his bike he pulled the distributor cap from its mount and
<DIV></DIV>>rested it aside. It was still attached to the spark plug leads and the leads
<DIV></DIV>>were connected to the plugs. As he turned over the bike it started running.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>What might cause this to occur? Interesting to note is that he has been
<DIV></DIV>>having trouble with the engine where one cylinder will not fire. We were
<DIV></DIV>>thinking that it may be carburetor related but now that I heard of this
<DIV></DIV>>anomaly I think that his problems might be ignition related.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Any thoughts?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Regards....Ian
