I burned my ignition coil melting and splitting the insulation on the, and tach wire (see pics on Burned Coil What to Do Next thread) coil wires. I purchased a new ignition coil, coil ground strip, ignition module, distributor cap and rotor, and ignition module. I attempted to start the vehicle Thursday and it did not start. Today I removed the tach wire from the distributor and attempted to start the vehicle. Here is what happened.



My question is what else could be wrong. I know I have to repair the tach wire. I think the vehicle should be running as it did before. Suggestions are definitely welcome. So bring them on.

cannt tell much from that video, is the choke closing?
is the choke pull off working?
It sounds like you have spark at the plugs, did you pull a plug wire at the plug end and check?
did you move the distributor housing while replacing all those parts and changed the timing?

Carb is a BG era mighty demon 750 cfm carb, no choke. Did not pul a plug wire to check for spark
Did not move distributor housing while replacing parts. The vehicle would only run that long

Well you had spark for a while there to start it. Plenty of spark testers on the market that just touch the plug wire which is easier than pulling a plug, laying on something metal to ground it and looking for spark.

If you don't have spark your ignition is at fault. If you do have spark your problem is fuel/carb.

Reads like your not using a choke and starting would be difficult when cold or fuel bowls low.

Yeah, hard to tell what's going on from that video. I would suggest installing the old module (assuming it is still on one piece), and try again.
You can use an inductive timing light to see if you have spark.

sounds like the timing is off. How old is the engine

I rebuilt it in oct 2016, installed it in jan 2017. But did not drive it until week before last to work.

It sounds to me that it could be a fuel problem check the filter ,and take the air cleaner off and look down the carb and see if the accelerator pump is pushing fuel down the carb.
