[alfa] 78 Spider No Staaaaarrrght

[Benjamin Kaupp <bkaupp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy Folkies,

Okay... the patient is my 1978 Spider with Crane XR700 electric 
ignition and removed cold start solenoid. It starts fine most of the 
time, but lately (moved to foggy drippy Santa Cruz) it has been spark 
free in the mornings. Yesterday I finally got some time to check with a 
multimeter and I have pulse at the coil, the end of the coil wire, and 
after jostling it, at the plugs. But this morning, it went back to 
normal and no amount of monkeying could get it to go (I could have 
flooded it, but I don't suspect this is the case, as my car has been 
historically pretty resistant to said affliction).

So... is it time to invest in some new wires?

Thanks all (and especially Richard for putting up with us kids)
