Re: ANOTHER ignition issue

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff, do you have an electronic ignition set up with the dual ballast 
resistor? The one that has 4 prongs instead of 2? I believe one side of 
those resistors is the start circuit and the other side is the run circuit. 
It could be that the start part of the resistor is bad. If you have the 
single resistor then you may have a problem with the ignition switch or the 
start circuit wiring. Or here's one from out of left field that the resistor 
is bad and wired wrong and the start circuit is running thru the resistor 
instead of the run circuit.
