[Spridgets] Strange cranking problem

[brian S]

I try not to have my foot on the clutch pedal when starting it,
moving the distributor a little to the left doesn't make much of a
difference,
it's between 12:30 and 1 o'clock position.
Gonna try and clean up the ground contact's and see if that helps.

Thanks

Brian S.
Bugeyeracer finally resto'ed!
