Ed,
Your high tension cable is not fully seated in the coil.

Not many miles to the southeast we got nothing but rain. My +2 would not start either. Blast, that's right, forgot to put the engine and gearbox back in.

My stepson and his wife and child lived in Sydney for a while. We took some fine vacations there in our winter - walking along the cliffs, lounging on Coogee Beach - planning future trips, even wondering if we might retire there... maybe pick up a nice Elan?
Then the so-and-so moved to Shanghai!

I love the sound of a torque wrench in the morning. Sounds like... progress.
