Hi all, 1981 Mk3 Escort 1.3 CVH fitted with the later type Lucas Distributor, Ford VV carb - Fires up ok but as soon as you let the key go back from the "starting position" to "on" she dies. If I keep her cranking she runs fine and will rev up A1 (obviously don't want to do this too often and wreck the starter / ring gear ! ).

Any ideas ? ? ?
