    I am going to try and crank the 225 in my Tux before taking the tub off the chassis to see what condition the engine is in. I have a temp gas can with electric fuel pump to carb. I have 12v from bat to a switch then to the coil and then to dist. I can't seem to get fire to the plugs, is something wrong with the wiring? Do I have to go through the ballast just to run for a few minutes? Thanks,


    Jess

    As long as you have 12 volts at the coil and fuel in the carb and the starter cranks it will start. Check the points.
