Subject:no start - now starts!
Date:Wed, 13 Dec 1995 09:12:39 -0500

Thanks again to all those who responded to my no start post.  It starts now!

Unfortunately, I was not real methodical and I'm not sure exactly what the
problem was.  Probably a combination of things which drained the battery to
the point where it wouldn't light up the FI system.  

I charged the battery, changed the oil (embarrased to say I had molasses in
there - meant to change it three weeks ago), diddled or cleaned most FI
connections, and readjusted the points (possibly the problem?, didn't
measure but seemed to close before I reset).  Battery back in and it started
right up better than ever!

Just checked and it started again fine this morning.  I'll have to keep an
eye on  it though.  And be sure to take better care of my baby.
