Quote: Be sure to check the distributor connector. i had one slightly loose yesterday and it kept my 85 from starting even hot wired (I have a bad switch). Did the same, would kickback on turning the key off or disconnecting the coil power wire. also check the pickup coil.
Thats how this one does if its not 'too' flooded yet, just turn the key from run to off between cranking and it will kickback and apparently that burns enough off the plugs that it will start. Its too flooded this time and wont start, last time it did this i had to change the plugs.
