Title: HELLO AGAIN!! : Mk2 oaky 8v : Damp Start woes
Post by: kappatango on 03 December 2007, 16:52

Hi - man its been a long time......

My '88 8v Oaky is having  real problems at the mo with the damp weather. Even when Kept in the garage over the weekend it would not start (Admittedly didnt drive for 2 days..... I had to jump it of my wifes car..... ) is there anything I can do to help it or is it just down to good old age.....

Thanks

Is it not cranking or not firing up?

Yeah it turns over ok, just wont fire - Its like there is damp in the Dizzy but I make sure that is dry.

I am pretty sure it is because the spark generated is not enough to compete against the Damp, but I just wondered if there is a long term solution I can try.....
