Hi Guys,
Just got my LAPD Eldo running and I need some help. When I first started it,
it sounded OK, but soon it started running terrible. Backfiring, sputtering,
wouldn't rev, etc. I checked the points and they looked bad. I had cleaned
them before installing. Lots of metal transfer, etc. So I cleaned them
again, put them back in and it ran better, but still not right. Question: I
am using some generic coil I had kicking around. I recall some coils had a
built-in resistor to limit voltage to the points. Could the wrong coil be
the culprit? Any other points (pardon the pun) to help me make this thing
run right would appreciated.
