I have a 1952 Monk with twin Chrysler Crown 6 cylinder flatheads which I have just purchased and I am having trouble keeping the starboard engine running
The port engine has a ballast resistor attached to the coil but the starboard engine doesn’t. The starboard engine runs for about two hours and then the temperature rises quickly from 150-200 and the engine stalls. The coil is super hot at this point The local marine supply shop sold me a coil with an internal resistor but it won’t even give a spark at the plugs
I have checked the points,cap ( contacts)& rotor and they seem fine but the points were super hot after just a few cranks on the motor
Could this be a fault with the condenser or maybe a short in a wire?
