1. check ure ignition fuse.
when u turn it to start, direct (maybe unfused power) goes to the coil "+" so it has a good supply while there is a power drop (during starting period).
2. check u even have the positive feed wire to the coil.
when i was gettin my 18rg running a while ago, it would run only with the key on the STARTER position. i just forgot to connect the coil "+" feed wire on

Brett, cheers.
Perhaps it is a loose connection between the coil, because it comes and goes. Anyhow i will try all that.
Any 1 else have any suggestions?

try getting a wire and connecting it directly from the battery positive to the coil positive. that should definatly make it run

are you saying that to drive the car you have to hold the key beyond ON??? or this is only when starting the car and once warm all is good???
with the info given i can think of probably 10 possibilities so i would ask for more info as asked above
but in a nut shell it is more then likely electrical. are you running stock carby or twin side draughts?
if twin are they tuned/setup right in respect to air/fuel?
check coil - check voltage when car is on, see if it fluctuates heaps or not
ignition barrel - unscrew the ignition barrel and once out with a screw driver check that when you turn it to start it kicks back to ON. if it doesnt then internal spring stuffed. if it does kick/turn back automatically and car still turns off then could be the connections in the switch ar stuffed
other than checking fuses make sure there are no lose connections
so the only thing you have done recently is take the dash out and put it back in? was the problem there before hand? if so how long has it been happening... i would lean towards ign barrel issue but woth the backfire it means little spark getting through to burn the fuel

Cheers guys.
yesterday i checked the fuses. and sure enough the engine fuse was broke. put in a new one and she went fine. I am still unsure about the coil needing the postive from the battary tho. And the tacho works fine now to.
Anyhow we adjusted the timing and cleaned the points(they were filthy).
She runs smooth as now..
Cheers for a help Peoples
