My car is running again

[juliemac57@hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

If the car just stops when running, check both the big red wire and the dual 
black wires on the back of the ignition switch. If the tach dies quickly 
then the black wires are losing contact. One of the two goes to the +12v 
part of the coil and ignition syatem. Mine does this and I can (with the 
lower cover off) get the car to run again while moving by playing with them.
Good luck

Julie
