Hey all,
My new to me '80 245 is hard to start and running rough throughout the rpm range. When it does start, I have to feather the pedal to keep in running and while doing so, sometimes I hear what sounds like a door slamming, BOOM from the engine.
Today, it wouldn't even rev past 5k.
I'm thinking of starting with the ignition system, new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and condenser, possibly a coil, but where's the best place to get these parts? I bought some wires and a rotor from Rock Auto once and the only complaint I had was that the wires were very thin.
That and I don't believe ipd carries the condenser...
Haaaalp.
