It takes a while to restart and requires full choke. Oh, it would restart and run if truck is moving and the clutch is dumped. I also needed to set the idle higher. I think this plays along with having to close the choke.

Not sure about the coil breakdown and my ground is good.

Again, thanks

If the idle RPM is set too low, the engine will stall when hot. I would suggest using a tachometer, and setting the engine to the specified idle RPM.

See if this fixes the issue.
