Re: It just quit

Keep in mind when this happens. Is it wet or damp outside? Is the engine at operating temp? How long running before it quits? Are you accellerating or coasting?


Usaully but not always, HEI modules will fail after they get hot but have no problem cold. HEI ignition ciols usually go bad and that's it, they are done.

Maybe a fuel problem. Did you have any problems before the carb rebuild? Was there a problem with the carb before it was rebuilt?

All these questions will help figure out the root cause of your problem.

Re: It just quit

the module will do that sometimes before it gives up completely
we recently had a ignition switch do the same thing as it turned out it mustve been getting worn on the inside and would only stay running if key was held there in the run postion.

that was tough too figure out
