Normally, an engine that won't turn over well when hot has too much
ignition advance.

Picked up this '73 eldo in Oct, it had sat for a number of years but was in good physical shape, no corrosion. Had to do some rewiring, replacement of rubber parts (fuel lines, airfilter boot, etc), cleaned carbs & tank. Finally got the engine started with the right plugs (NGK BP07ES's won't cut it despite advice to the contrary). Problem is, after running for a bit, enough to get hot, if I kill it or it stalls it won't turn over until it cools down a bit. Hitting the starter just gets a "click" at the regulator. After waiting 5-10 minutes it will turn over & start again. Could this be a problem with the solenoid? I'm thinking that something is getting stuck open when it gets hot, and electrically the only thing that should be getting hot is that solenoid because its the only part in the electric path that's mounted to the engine and would get hot when running. Anyone have any ideas, set me straight before I take a wrench to that thing and start disassembling things and losing screws. motoroberto '73 eldorado Your free subscription is supported by today's sponsor: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Click here and get your free* stock car racing gift. http://click.topica.com/caac2NQb1dfltb7nKiOf/PermissionData ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
