scottbit,
As Baldy stated, change the points if you were running without a ballast resistor. There is a good chance your points were burnt when you ran without a ballast resistor. Have you changed the points and condensor since you had this starting problem?
Just to be certain,
1. Are you using an external ballast resistor or a coil with an internal resistor?
2. Do you have a foot starter or a solenoid starter?
3. Is there a small wire going from your starter to the coil or to the coil side of the ballast resistor?
Just wondering: do you have a voltage reducer on the power side of your fuel gauge (this has nothing to do with your starting problem)?
