I had this happen to me once, and it turned out the condenser wire was pinched under the distributor cap, so the wire resistance went up, it got the condenser too hot, and the motor wouldn't run.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of yttam777 Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2010 4:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IC27A] Engine Trouble After running my engine for a long, long time the other day my engine just suddenly crapped out. It's got gas/oil and the temperature (It's an atomic 4 gas engine) never exceeded 155-160, however the oil pressure would keep bouncing between 0-80. The engine never made any sounds of suffering, it just eventually shut down and wouldn't restart. The engine will try to turn over but just can't seem to get there.
