Default Ignition Issues

Guy's,

My Cobra has had cold start issues for a while now, lots of cranking

and running like a dog until its warm, then it runs and starts normally.

I have been away for a few weeks and wanted to sort the Cobra out

before the next run. I charged the battery on Saturday and tried to start the

car on Sunday. It cranked for a while and started but then stopped. It cranked

again then smoke came out and it wouldnt fire. I called the RACV and while I

was waiting the coil exploded. He replaced the coil and said it was dizzy

related. He put a long stick with a wodden end onto the dizzy and made it

spark, so he said it was one of the sensors in the Scorcher dizzy. I dropped

the dizzy to Scorcher and they are saying it is OK, it is 18 years old so they

are giving it a birthday. So where to from here????

I am running an MSD and MOTEC M48 also.

Could it be the MSD? or a switch ?? NFI

STIFFY
