: : I HAVE DRAINED THE TANK, AND PUT IN 5 GALLONS OF FRESH GAS. AFTER DRAINING THE "OLD" GAS I DRAINED THE CARB,

: TRY USING FRESH GAS. SOMETIMES THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

: : GUYS, IM BANGING MY HEAD....
: : : MY 1950-52 8N WON'T START, THE STARTER TURNS, I HAVE DECENT SPARK
: : : ON OUT FO MY COIL AND AT ALL FOUR PLUGS. PLUGS DO GET WET. NEW POINTS, SET AT .015, NEW PLUG WIRES.
: : : THE ONLY TIME I EVEN GET A SPUTTER IS WHEN I JUMPER AROUND THE IGINITION
: : : RESISTOR, SO I REPLACED IT....DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
: : : I HAVE 6 VOLTS INTO THE RESISTOR, ABOUT 4.5 OUT TO THE COIL.
: : : I HAVE ALSO SWAPPED OUT THE COIL...THINKING MAYBE THE SPARK WASN'T
: : : STRONG ENOUGH. I STARTED LOOKING AT THE STATER ITSELF, AND POSSIBLY THE SOLENOID (STATER RESISTOR).
: : : THE ONLY THING THAT I SAW THAT WAS EVIDENT, WAS THAT OCCASIONALY THE STARTER SEEMS TO
: : : DISENGAGE....OR CHATTER. I HAVE TO STOP WITH THE STARTER BUTTON AND THEN RESUME AGAIN.
: : : THE TRANNY IS IN NEUTRAL (MECHANICAL CUTOUT).

: : : ANY SUGGESTIONS, AS TO WHY THIS WON'T START OR WHAT TO LOOK AT???
Try jumping with a 12 volt battery..Watch your polarity when you hookup....positive ground..!!!disconnect 12 volt battery immediatly if she starts.good luck....TOM
