Help
The old boy needs some help!
I have a carrier that will go between 7 an 10 miles before it dies I have converted it from the |Ford coil to the later coil and the distributor top the coil has been replaced 3 times but always seem to have lots of spark /THINKING IT IS COIL BREAK DOWN The condenser has been replace more time than enough/ 5 and has no spark at the plugs but let the machine cool down and it starts maybe for one minute maybe for 10 CONDENSOR the carrier goes between seven and ten miles and just out of the blue it quits the carrier in question has an electric fuel pump and fuel is not a problem This is a first for me so I was wondering if the condensors that we buy now are S*** or If the old guy just doesn't know what he is doing

I kept my Mk1 carrier all stock 6V for the restorationm so I could rely on the wiring and troubleshooting info int he manuals. I did add a 12 v battery in the wireless battery box to ONLY run the starter. I disconnected the 6v off the press to start button in the dash. Wired a much lighter wire back to a 6v solinoid that handled the heavy amps from the battery to the starter.
Spun the 6v starter with gusto, but didn't hurt it and was a great starter! Always had to charge the 12V before an event and we carried a spare fresh charged 12v in the club that could be swapped out at events in a pinch. Having siad that, I had a similar issue that I thought was a coil breaking down under load. Turned out it was a bad cell in the 6 V battery, as that is in the charging circuit with the generator and the cut-out. Replaced the battery and the running issues went away, nevver to return. My .02 worth... anouther issue might be something getting pulled up in your fuel lines that is collecting to block the flow, then settling back down when you have stopped.

Shaun had a similar problem at Holland and he did something with an extra wire to his battery.... Maybe worth dropping him an email.

Are you running through a resistor before the coil?

Hi Stew,
Maybe a cracked rotor or dizzy cap? Cheers,

Check your fuel tanks for proper ventilation.
