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
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
