Reply to "1905 runs again...and Fire Wall Bubble"

I had a problem getting it started. The video was only the second start since I put the engine in the car. I would crank and crank, let it sit and do it again. I have distributor less ignition and the unit was not picking up the index on the trigger wheel.

When it did start it fired through the carb and back fired until it started. I finally traced it with the help of some research and others to the magnetic pickup.

The starter wire runs down the frame rail and is too close to the magnetic pickup. One fix is a resistor and another fix is a metal plate to block the wire but either way I have it starting like any other car now.
