Super C Stalls

Scott Bardman · Jan 19, 2011

I'm having trouble with my Super C stalling and then not starting again till everything cools real good. I just put in electronic ignition and it does the same thing. I replaced the coil this past summer and after it stalled yesterday I hooked up a different coil and still would not fire. Then this morning it fired right up on the replacement coil and the mounted coil.There is fuel dripping out of the bottom of the carb so I don't know where else to look. Any ideas?

Fuel dripping out of carb is bad. Time to fix carb

With the engine cold, pull the coil wire out of the distributor cap & hold about 1/4" from a metal surface. Turn the switch on and crank the engine. You should see a bright blue spark. If it is weak & yellowish you have an ignition problem.
Repeat when the engine stalls to see if there is a difference.
3 things are needed to run an engine; strong timed spark, burnable fuel mixture, and decent compression. When the engine quits or won't start, look for the missing item.
