Sounds like your describing your fuel shut off. Needs 12v on it when the ignition is on.Here is another odd thing about my cruiser... it is a 1973 with the original F engine. I can't find anywhere in the schematic a wire running from the coil+ to a electric choke(?) on the carb. I had experimented disconnecting this in the past and the cruiser won't start, but now I am wondering what it is, since I also have a manual choke. Any ideas?
I am really at a loss here. Any help would be great.
