Just been doing the same with my 4CV – I have just finished building the engine and it started first time. I turned it off and then it would not start at all. I went through everything, I even rebuilt the distributor, insulating the internal wires with heat shrink, double and double checking the insulation of the condenser. I had spark and the timing was perfect.

I had to walk away and do other jobs – came back, pulled a spark plug and the spark was a fizzle – changed the spark plugs and it fired up like a race car.

These little things 😆

PS – I have my Traction side by side to the 4CV copying what I did on the 12 volt conversion…..I learnt a lot doing my Traction.
