Ah you got a BOOB (Bad Out Of Box)...happens more often than it should.

I was ready to send it to another shop thats how disgusted i was, had another 4 dayer and it ended up being a tach shorted and in turn was shorting the coil. to this day i would have never of figured that out untill i ran into some old timer

Yep tachs will get you. I restored a '72 BMW 2002 a few years back and made the mistake of incorrectly connecting the tach (at the tach, wires reversed). The tach worked fine, but the engine was always hard to start. Fine when cold, but darn near impossible when hot. I gave up and had a BMW indy take a stab...it stumped him. Tried another indy and he found the problem. Man did I feel stupid. I did a ground up restoration and goofed up on such a minor detail. Doh!

Moral of the story: When having ignition problems, I suppose order of business would be to disconnect tach at coil while troubleshooting.

im getting worried that i'm turning into a old timer, i know someone's going to call me some day with the same problem and you know what i'm going to say....... try removing the tach wire, i guess thats how you become an old timer. .....what age do you become a old timer, just curious

in my own sick way of thinking;it is not the time on the clock but the milage on the odometer.youth is wasted on the young............there is an alternative to aging....

if i would have known i was going to live this long i would have???????????????????NOT I would do it all over, every stupid and foolish event in my life,it builds charactor.plus it gives you something to warn your children about and the grandkids food for thought...................... boat dr

my dad ,you know dear old dad, the stupid one that did not know how to pour piss out of a boot,you know how much knowledge that man gained in those short years after he had grandkids was uncanny......he said;pain is inevitable but suffering is an option..........ignorence is not knowing,stupidity is thinking you know,and every one else is wrong.been there ,done that ,got the shrink receipts to prove it..............boat dr

i love my job ,boats and motors are very calm at 8 o clock,i have laid on that couch hopfully for the last time,have to realize that i have no power,that a power greater than me can and will restore me to sanity,i am just a hole in a do-nut............ boat dr
