RE: Still horns waggled



Well, when you're dumb like me you've done just about every stupid thing
there is to do.  But I've learned alot from screwing up.

That said, I once put a distributor cap on backwards and had just about the
same effects.  I missed the origins of this thread but it certainly sounds
like a distributor problem to me.  I understand that the key wears in there
and they can jump.   Or perhaps the cap is loose, or even backwards?  Just a
suggestion from someone whos been there.

I'm with Paul.  If it's starting to catch, the Spica may be flooded.  Try
pulling the wire off the cold start solenoid and cranking again.
