Zach,

There is a Revolutionary Switch mounted around the coil or under the air cleaner. It is a small rectangle black box. Should have either 4 or 6 pin connection. Try jumping pins 1 to 2 and 3 to 5. This will open fuel solenoid and send signal to distributor. If lift runs, you will need module. Good Luck.

The hard to do we do right away. The impossible just takes a little longer.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
