I have a Nissan Nomad 50 with a no start problem.
The unit has sufficient spark at 15kv to 30kv, has 160 lbs of compression, good timing, and has a new carburetor, vaporizer and lock-off. Unit will start and run for approximately 1-3 minutes, and runs well, though still has trouble idling. Note: Once it stalls it will not restart.
The unit has 12 volts to the distributor, and I tested reluctor ring. Pickup test could not verify, was faulty, readings were all over. Takes a lot of ether to start after it has run the first time and will not restart.

Could it possibly be the distributor? Or LP?
Note: Distributor has integral coil and ignition module.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
