[Healeys] PROBLEM

[Austin Healey]

Not enough spark energy. When cranking the starter takes the energy, when
You stop cranking - and lucky - the engine turns a bit and the next spark
starts the engine.
Check the current at the battery when cranking. It should not drop too much.
If thats ok, try with copper leads with non resisitor type plugs or try a
stronger coil.
