[Healeys] Petronix II

[Bob Spidell]

Fuel pump (they have coils too). Sounds like a vapor lock problem.

After the running problem I ordered a new Petronix from Moss ($138.00 w/ 
shipping) and it came yesterday. Before I tackled the repair I tried to 
start the car again and it started right up. I let it run for a while and 
after it got up to temperature for a while it died! Let cool off and tried 
it again with the same results. So, I assume that the problem is not the 
Petronix. I have checked all the wiring and connectors. I double checked the 
rotor and can see no wear. Could it be the coil? Maybe it is shorting out 
when it gets hot? Thanks, JL
