Hi Larry,
   Well it is easier to tell you what I have done... I checked point gap, shined up the points, checked cap for cracks... and yes everything was dry and no corrosion on wires or anywhere else.. At this point, I figure it has to either be coil or condenser. A condenser is cheap, I think I'll just replace it. I really haven't had time to look at things yet. In fact, the only reason I looked at it at all is because my wife sorta pushed me into after I had conned her into driving it while I pushed it into the shop. Darn, I was gonna use the H-P 70 to dig potatoes... guess it will be the super 77 again. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->
