<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Group,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am working on a ’71 FI 1775cc, stock heads, valves,
and cam, automatic, stock distributor from Jim Adney.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sometimes intermittently when I try to start it, both
relays click and hear the fuel pump coming on, but no start. While
the key is on, if I take off the distributor cap and separate the points
from touching, I get a spark at points then hear the fuel pressure regulator
make a noise (normal). It’s building pressure. I put the cap
back on when and I turn the key to start the engine, it starts immediately.
Excellent cold idle and perfect warm up, runs excellent. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What causes this irregular no start? I believe I
have the engine timed right. Air/fuel mixture is at 14 to 1. I used
a Peerless model 660 air /fuel mixture analyzer. A
short somewhere? A crossed wire?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also at night I see the dash lights flicker bright to dim (not
too bad) and then bright again. No problem noticed at the headlights. Could
it be the voltage regulator going on or off? I have a stock voltage regulator
installed. I also have a electronic one. Should I swap out the installed
old style regulator? A professional rebuilt generator is installed. My
battery is fairly new and around 12.45 vdc or better.<o:p></o:p></p>
