Gemini Problems

Post by FKDLAW »

Hello!

My TG is giving me the s*)ts and need help to fix her!

So one day, driving my gem and suddenly the battery light came on. I disconnected the alternator regulator which i thaught kinda fixed the problem. Now my car is not starting. I think it is the distributor something electrical.

It kind of cranks over but it seems like nothing is igniting the fuel as black smoke that smells like petrol is coming out of the exhaust. Yes I know i'm a dickhead but help a fellow gemini lover brother in need!

Changed all the spark plugs and one of the old plugs was full of hard dry gunk. Got a new dizzy cap. New leads.

Anything else I could have done or damaged? Whats a breaker point? I see this comes up as a potential problem in the gregory gemini bible?

Thankyou!

Mate. You can't just disconnect the regulator and expect everything to work! :shock:
