I had a problem with mine that sounds similar to this... I do not know how the cap and rotor are setup on yours. I know they are different between 83 and 88. So this might not be of help. But I had the rotor in backwards or upsidedown, I forget now, but mine wouldn't start (go figure :hick: ). So my guess is it is probably just something little like that, double check back over it all.
