Went to take the Demo to the barn from the Portland show. Unloaded off the trailer this morning. Started right up. Let it run a little till I got it all dried off. Started down the street had to to stop the state road for traffic. I went to take off it just died. I would crank but no start. I waled back home one block to get gas can & gas gauge. Tank had 2 gallon in tank. So I went back home to get chain & golf cart so someone would help pull me home. It went good.
Once home I checked to make sure all wires were in place. They were all in place. So I took plug wire #1 off & put an inline tester cranked over NO fire.
Yes switch was on. So where do I start.
Thanks

Re: Demo died
Check for fire out of coil by manually activating the points.. pull the coil wire off the distributer and hold it close to a ground point on the engine while working the points with ignition on. See if you have spark there. If this is a battery ignition you now have to suspect points and condensor or the coil.

Re: Demo died
Condensation/moisture inside the distributor.
Had that happen to us on the way out to Cubfest 2006 at Gene Dotson’s place. Rained hard on our 1st leg of the trip. Good thing there were a few knowledgeable Cub folks there.

Re: Demo died
Too bad that didn't happen at the show, Jeff, it would have been another project for us. Seems all we worked on this year was golf carts. Had a great time at the show!

Re: Demo died
That tells me it was wet previously. It's not uncommon for water to get into the push/pull switch on the dash. we all know how water runs down the trans shifter and enters the trans, same thing with the dash push/pull switch. Verify that switch is working correctly before you get to involved tearing things apart.Let it run a little till I got it all dried off.

Re: Demo died (update)
Well worked on the cub. I notice that the points had closed up. So I regapped & put a condenser in as well. Put it all back together. I tested I have spark. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Be sure there is some point grease on the rub block and make sure the screws that hold the points are tight.
