<x-charset iso-8859-1>The point gap sounds WAAAY too wide. However, the symptoms sounds like a fuel problem. Maybe a cold start valve malfunction. Thomas E.

I wanted to ask about a problem I occasionally have starting my fastback. It starts it is just that sometimes it does not 'fire up' it kind of just putters to idle, just very weak. Could this be do to the fact that I am using 20w50 oil during the summer and it is a little too thick? It is all tuned up etc. Or could the point gap be alittle to large. I think I set it at 50?
