Default Well Now I've done it!

My Classic Roadsters has been running great. Had a terrific time cruising around Sunday except that recently, it will not crank when I turn the key. It has gotten to the point where this now happens very often. But if you push the car and pop the clutch, it fires right up, so I have just been dealing with it.

Anyway, I determined that the problem is the solonoid and I replaced it. Now the car cranks over great every time, but IT WILL NOT FIRE UP AND RUN

I looked and saw that while changing out the solonoid, I knocked a bunch of the connecters off the 4 wire Duraspark plug. So I stuck them back the way I *thought* they went on. Nothing!!! So I went into the house and got the big CR build manual and got the correct wiring and connected everything back as per the book, . . . NOTHING!

I am hoping that I just blew out the duraspark box when I wired it wrong and thats it.

Any ideas are welcome

Unhappy Ed
