Decided on the emchanic route again since the replace a part here and there didnt work out. Another thing though, on the way there there was a loud ping in the motor and a puff of black smoke....how much of a bad thing is that? Hoping just a normal backfire?

 

Hard to say but it don't sound good. Let us know what he finds would ya?

 

Argh, I'm so mad at my self. It was the points and condensor.....that I already bought but didnt know how to properly install....could of been a 20$ fix ended up being a 103$ fix...because they "did some other stuff too" .....right. Well i'll be kicking my self in the *** for the rest of the night.

 

Just consider it a learning experience. We have all been there and doine that, so you are in good company. Now, consider replacing the points and condenser with the pertronix ignition system.

 

Soaring has a great idea. Never do points again!!
