After my engine gets hot and I shut it down usually will not start. What is mostly likely to fail when hot, coil, points, condenser? Definitely getting fuel. ------------- starbucksdad |

Most likely issue is it is getting too much fuel and is too flooded to restart - cranking with the throttle held wide open would start it and confirm that to be the issue. If that isn't the issue or you have used a tester to verify you have no spark come back for the alternative theorys. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Holding the throttle wide open, no pumping, no bumping, just wide open and cranking the crap out of it? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

| If your concerned your loosing spark hook a timing light up to one of the cylinders. If your getting spark the light should blink, if it doesn't your not getting spark. Let it cool down and see if the light will blink. |

Are you sure it is not a vapor lock? Sounds like once it cools off it starts up again. ------------- If money can't buy happiness, explain beer and boats. |
