Hello spridgets,
as you of course all know by now, the red thing failed me sunday...
had to get it towed home, a $200 bill, because i failed to carry the
correct spare piece. oh well, that's life...
my pertronix ignition failed. the wires inside the dizzy must have
been rubbing the rotor as the insulation was bare, and shorted out..
i tried taping it up, which worked for while, but eventually it just
wouldn't do any more... i had a spare set of points and condensor
with me, but not the little piece that connects TO the points from
the coil wire. (it slides into the side of the dizzy) ..
anyway, i'm switching to a crane unit within the next week... thanks
for all your cards and letters wishing me well in my time of
distress.
