With my own, if that poppet-ball valve which is forced open by the Cold
Advance Solenoid gums up and jams closed on you, you basically won't be
going anywhere. I gather the Cold Advance Solenoid isn't the only thing
which causes the poppet-ball and spring to 'open', as it *seems* to need to
do some sort of vent or fuel return operation too. Others might have more
of an insight here. I'm no engineer.
