Hello all,
I just inhereted my grandfathers Jeep J10, and I was told that this was the best site for insight, and help. Now the story.
It had been sitting inside a garage for a little more then 10 years, with some issue he had known about, but I was never sure what it was. Anyway, I went to pick up the jeep, changed out the oil, checked and bled brake lnes, even had gas and a surrogate tank to flush out the system. While flushing the system out, it seemed the gas was ok, so we gave it a shot using the gas that was already in there. The Jeep fired right up! I couldn't believe it! So, we let it run for a while, put the rest of the "new" gas into the tank, and she just kept running. We tinkered around with a few other things while she was running, after about an hour of running we drove away. Went to the first gas station, turned it off, filled up with gas, and it fired right up again. I proceeded to drive it all the way back to my place, approx 80 miles or so. There are a ton of things I know that need to get done, like, everything pretty much.
The place where I need help, and or advice is this. I got home, and parked it in my driveway, I went out to move it the day after I got it home, and now it has no spark. I have a brand new battery, I completely recharged it, it turns over great, but there is nothing. I pulled the wire from the coil and checked for spark, and there's nothing. Is there anything that could have happened from the time I parked it, in which it was running pretty good, to the next day? Anything that might have stopped due to age, or? I am kind of stumped, especially since it went from running with plenty of power, to no spark the next day. Any advice, or experiences like this? I'm away from home now, but I'll be there next week, just looking for places to start. Thanks.
