Got this big beast home today. Drove it all the way.

My nephew thought it was out of gas cuz when he tapped on the tank it sounded the same all the way down. DUH! It's full! He's used to listening to poly tanks. It has a steel tank. Different sound entirely. The problem turned out to be a bad coil. It tested OK when it was static and load tested on the diag machine but when you put the REAL load on it the thing wouldn't light up a Christmas light. Luckily I had an old one rolling around on the floor and it fired up with that. So I need to get a new coil for it. Could have been worse.
