Ford 3000 gas engine won't stay started
I found that I had a wire grounded after cleaning and reinstalling the points. Got that fixed and replaced the switch and it finally works. I think there was multiple problems involved but now everuthing is new. Gonna order a distributor rebuild kit and keep it on standby. Thanks...- Fordtruckguy5

Ford 3000 gas engine won't stay started
I took the distributor apart today, cleaned the points and replaced the ground wire from points to case and from points to coil. Reading from the the negative side of the coil to ground with the points closed I get 0 ohms. Put the distributor back together and reset points and now have no...- Fordtruckguy5

Ok, update time. I stopped at Napa on the way home and bought a ballast resistor and a 6 volt ignition coil. I disconnected the switch to coil resistor wire and check ohms it read open. I got excited thinking problem solved. Installed new wire and resistor now reading 1.7 ohms end to end...- Fordtruckguy5

So I've done some more research and this is what I got. With the key in the run position I have 12 volts on the key switch lug heading to the ignition coil. I also have 12 volts on the other end of the resistance wire (which I can see is in place) so the resistance wire is faulty and not...- Fordtruckguy5

Thanks for the replies. It's hard to read the parts page you linked on my phone but I'll check it out on my computer tomorrow. So bypassing that resistor wire explains why my test wire overheated. I get 12 volts at the positive lug of the coil with the switch in run. Would this be normal...- Fordtruckguy5

New Member My 3000 will start right off but as soon as the key switch is released from the start position to the run position it shuts off. If left in the start position it continues to crank and run. I removed the sediment bowl and cleaned it and the filter, there was gas there and it starts...- Fordtruckguy5
