pflaming Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Had the engine running, then sat several weeks while I was working on other things. When I went to restart it, nothing. I discovered the distributer cap was damaged, so replaced that. Then must have done something because it wouldn’t restart. Yesterday I had the coil and four very old coils tested. All tested bad. It it possible to ruin a coil, if so how? Quote
kencombs Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Well , one way is to leave the key on without the engine running and with points closed . but that usually leaves an indicator that it happened, oil or other filler will get hot, leak out and be visible. sorta unlikely on that many. two questions: how were they tested and fail numbers? have you inspected and/or cleaned the points as it’s common for them to oxidize after long disuse Quote
