The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

A friend on another forum sent me a new coil ballast resistor for my van. I installed it this morning hoping that it would solve the hot starting problem I have with it. All I needed to test it was a hot start situation. Got that when my niece called to ask me to go to her house and turn the water off (leaking water heater). I knew that was going to take a bit as the hole where the cutoff valve is almost always needs to be dug out. I left the vans engine running while I took care of that then came back home and shut it down. I waited about an hour then went out to start it again. Nope, no start. It'll crank over, there's spark but no ignition. Spraying starting fluid in the carb does nothing. It's so hot in there that the fluid very quickly boils out. After it cools down for a few hours it'll kick right over.
