Brian,
Well said. Geeze this is going to be hard. After I try all the things you
guys are suggesting I have to go back through all the e-mails to see who
said what first! At the very least Brian you will get a bloody beer bottle
opener as a consolation prize!! Thanks again, Bob

Are loopframe guys so poor that they can't afford $5 for a six-pack? Anyways, I don't think Bob's problem is electrical. If the coil is bad, then the left cylinder wouldn't fire along with the right, since they both use the same coil. I recently had a problem with my T-3 (which uses 2 coils), where only the left cylinder would fire. I swapped the wiring on the coils, and then only the right would fire. I thought I had a bad coil, but cleaned all the connections, and everything ran fine. The +12V wire was connected to one coil, and then another wire ran from this terminal on the first coil to the +12V terminal on the second coil, and there was a poor connection in here, so the second coil never got power. I also don't think the distributor cap is bad for the same reason. If the distributor cap had a short to ground, it would not affect only the right cylinder. I have to go with the choke or leaning carb theories. Can I get some beer if I agree with the correct answer? Brian '74 Eldo '78 T3 Patrick Hayes wrote:
