Finally digging into the TR6 that I recently purchased.
Horrible experience with Just Tires took 3 hours to get tires and i had an
appointment! On the way home it had issues. It died about 2 miles from
the tire place.
It would barely run. And basically runs for 30 seconds and then dies.
Probably a fuel problem if I've learned anything on this list. . It's a
1973 and has a ballast resistor and pertronix was connected to the coil
verses 12 volts. That might explain why it died when i turned the
headlights on.
I went back to points and still died after 15 sec. Turns out the fuel
regulator is intermittent.
Much better now. Also replaced 4 ft of melted red wire in the trunk. Found
green-red wire melted, too. Things are finally working!
