RE: hard starting

["Aaron Ness" <aaron@makuta.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Okay, I'll see if I can throw in a second level of complexity here.

I have the same problem.  I can start the engine using ether, and then it
will run.  My thermo time switch reads about 35 ohms when the engine is
cold.  Based on what you said, I should replace it, because it's over the
0.5 ohm limit.  However, I placed a jumper in the connector to simulate a
properly closed thermo time switch, and the cold start injector connection
still didn't get any juice.  Are there specific spots in this wiring that
are prone to trouble, or is my best bet to just start the painful task of
going through everything?
