After sending the first message---I thought of a way to check--all I had to do
was see if there was spark at the plugs to see if the coil was working after
she shut down-------too late now. so back to my first question.

OK---2 months ago, my BJ8 decided to shut off while I was driving----couldn't
figure out why while sitting beside the road so had her towed home. Long story
short--in the process of troubleshooting I have replaced may things--the coil,
VR, fuel pump, ignition switch. cleaned the carbs--blew out the fuel lines,
changed fuel filter (i have removed the internal filter and added an external
one) . I THOUGHT that after the ignition switch was changed that I had found
the problem--she ran beautifully for over a month.
BUT----------2 days ago while driving------she shut down----sputtered for a
short time them off----wouldn't start. AAA Tow home again.
So I had another thought-------and this focuses on the theory that it is
electrical. My thought was that maybe the cut-off switch had an internal
problem such that it would open the wire leading from it to the coil. If it
did, it would shut it down. The system would still be grounded through the many
cut off switch. So, I disconnected the wire leading to the coil ( it doesn't
need that anyway)-----and she has been purring ever since. Am I dreaming---or
is this a possible cause? Is my thinking correct? I'm running low on AAA towing
passes so don't want to go out on the road to test it yet.
