Topic: Hard starting when warm

  My 47 Ford starts easily when cold. When warm not hot after driving for a half hour or so it turns over very slowly with out starting or just barely starting. Let it sit for a while and it fires right up. The battery is ok motor seems stiff when warm.

  To isolate your problem you need a volt meter and perform the tests in this post:

  after doing TomO's tests, if every thing checks out, try temporyily bypassing the ign. resistor. If it starts easier, you have an ignition problem, such as bad coil or condenser.
