CHECK YOUR GAS CAP. MAY NOT BE VENTING ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- having a blast with my 65 Pacer, that many of you have helped me with this year. but i have had this bit of an anomoly happen a few times and each time i try something that i think will fix it, it seems to happen again, so i thought i would just have to through it out there and see what you all think. if i ride out about 12-15 mile to the next town (with no problems) and maybe let the bike sit for half hour or so and then head back home, after i have gone about 10 miles back home the bike just dies. it doesnt BLAAA out, it just dies. and it starts right back up one kick no problem. but being i am about 2-4miles from home, i havent tried to go another 12miles i just ride it home glad that i am not pushing it. i dont consider it a fuel problem especially after all the carb and petcock help i got from you fellas. the weather is usually 80 some degrees, i dont ride crazy usually a steady 45-50mph on the backroads, so there is an occasional stop sign. after it happened a second time i replaced all the wiring with a correct harness hoping that after getting the birds nest like wiring job off of the magneto, that would fix the problem. after it happened a third time i replaced the points and condensor courtesy of Duane Taylor. and last weekend it happened a fourth time so i thought i should throw it out there at you all. i still have the original coil on there and the original coil to spark plug wire. could it be either of those failing at higher temperatures? i am using a champion, H10C sparkplug. the bike starts on the 3rd kick when cold and 1or 2 when warm. i am stumped because it happens after such a specific amount of miles. any thoughts/advice is much appreciate!! thanks and happy 4th chris indiana |
