location of the ignition coil
I had the carrier out at a local school gala day giving rides to both the young and old, had one kid so excited he was gangham dancing as we went down the road. Couple of old soldiers that had been in carriers back in the day also.
So it was a hot as day over here in drought ridden New Zealand with a high of 26 degrees and an engine bay hotter than satans arse end.... All went well for the first 2 hours of rides but after lunch when it was hottest I had some engine trouble as it was if the spark was breaking down as I put on some load after changing into 3rd gear, it would stall but would start again with the ignition and run immediatly. Thought it might be a little hot for the coil to keep up with things as it was too hot to hold my hand on when I did a bit of a feel about. Went good as gold after about 45 min sitting with all the covers off but then after about 10 min started playing up again. Any thoughts, I am running a 12v coil (from a Honda civic, mid 80's ) and battery at the moment. Also my coil is mounted beside the generator on a bracket.
