you got it! happens a lot if you sleeve versus new cyl's and especially if
you
do not clean the piston grooves properly. It can happen this way, however
if
you can turn it over with the starter and it turns quick and easy, this is
probably not the issue, but if it turns over slowly or barely, this could
be
the problem.

Dave may be thinking that the engine is tightening up from too close of a
piston/cyl fit....

how about some details on how it was overhauled and what parts were
replaced,
ie; new jugs? sleeved? etc?

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my 69 Ambassador that someone may be able to
help
me
on. It has recently been overhauled and runs beautifully. I have put a
few
hundred miles on it since then. It would be safe to say that I havent
ridden
it for more than 20 minutes at one time with no problems. I was out
riding
the other day for maybe twice that long, ran great, came home and it
died
in
the driveway and would not restart. I let it sit a couple minutes and
it
popped right off. It would then run real nice, and then die after a
few
seconds and once again, would not restart. I flipped the gascap up to
make
sure that wasnt the problem. Does this sound like a bad coil? Does
anyone
have a spare they would sell??

Thanks,
Scott
