Hello,

I just picked up the truck from a gentelman who bought this baby brand new in 86! One owner! Its in amazing shape, but it doesn't start all the time. Today it fired up in the driveway no problem, drove it to the store and it wouldn't start by the time I got back out. After a couple of hours of sitting I went back and it started...now its at home and wont start again.

I was told it might be the ignition control module going bad. I can smell gas in the carb and at the exhaust, and its turning over just fine, just seems like no spark?

Just looking for suggestions!
Thanks.

you may want to actually check the spark when it don't start and actually verify if that is your issue or not. even tho you smell fuel there might possibly not be enough in the carb to start or run.
