Hi List,

I have a problem with my 1968 M151A1. The motor starts flawlessly when cold
and when restarted immediately after being shut off. The problem is trying
to start it while hot and being off for 5 minutes or more. The engine
turns over in what sounds like a normal starting rpm but never catches or
sputters. I have been able to roll start it down a hill when this happens,
which kind of points me to the starter, but I'm not sure. I've had an
electronic ignition in the distributor for about a year and a half and
replaced the coil around the same time. Any ideas List? Thanks in advance.
