Greetings- When I first bought my 85, the following weekend I had all kind of starting problems. It started fine, then I drove downtown (about 10 minutes) and when I tried to start it back up, it wouldn't start-different symptoms, from not even turning the engine to turning, but not enoguh. This was in September, on a nice warm day. Left it, came back later, started right up. Drove home, wouldn't start. Next morning, went out, started right up, and I drove it to a repair shop. Seems at some point in its previous history it may have overheated, and whether it did or not, the electrical connections to the ignition/computer got burned out, and when the engine got hot later, the connections would act as if they were broke. When it cooled back down, the connections would kick back in again. BAsically he cut the old terminal connectors off and soldered on new ones, and it has been fine since. Just another Point of View... Geosh Fathauer
