Re: *sigh* another hard starting problem...

["Joe Doty" <rocco2nr@hotmail.com>]

This is exactly what mine was doing when I was trying to get it running.  My 
problem was that I had the distributor on the wrong set of bolt-holes and it 
was always too advanced.  But if you didn't put the distributor on you 
probably wouldn't have this problem.
