ke20 king Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 nar man I'm pouring fuel through the carbie or spraying it with start ya bastard, havnt got the tank in yet to hook up fuel..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budowski Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 only 9V ? have you earthed the engine to the chassis and back to the battery a constant fuel suppy would be better say a 4L lawn mower can with more fuel line. also if your pouring to much fuel down the carby it wont atomise and may have fouled the plugs alll wet with fuel.

greenmac80 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 i had this problem or something similar. i had fuel spark etc. everything was normal. firing order was correct. but!!! the dizzy was out by 90degrees! check that your dizzy is aligned correctly. the person that had the car before me must have aligned my dizzy wrong but had the leads going to the correct cylinders. so when i put the leads to how they were supposed to be it wouldn't start!

ke20 king Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 sorry made a mistake in the post... engine is not in car my bad!!! ive been trying to start in the engine lifter... havnt trying to pump fuel, plugs r brand new duno if i have fouled them but tho... i was running 6volts by having the main postive wire going to the jumper leads but when i was cranking it i was getting a voltage drop!! so ran a single wire from another battery just to get more voltage to start the bastard!!! but still couldnt get a full 12VOLTS??

johnny t Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 yeah i agree more fuel and check ya earth and also- spark plug leads,coil,condencer points gap,timing- make sure ur distributor isnt 180 out chek everything that has got to do with spark, on my ute it was as simple as the wire that goes from ur coil to condencer was nackerd. johnnyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ke20 king Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 yeap have done that good spark from each nice and blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmac80 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 (edited) well are you sure the 7 degree timing is right? maybe its off? i seem to remember the number 9. i could def be wrong. have you checked you fuel flw? disconnect the hard line from the carby and turn the motor over. if it doesn't pump fuel then there is your problem? EDIT: soory shoulda read more carefully. ummm have you tried filling the float chamber up? and then trying?

johnny t Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 id try more fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke20 king Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 yeah tried more fuel umm... yeah i guessed 7 degreess BTDC umm maybe its to low might bring it up to 10 being advanced is alway better starting colder engines anyway but 3 degress realy shouldnt make to much of a differnce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny t Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 try puttin it on the timing mark. it should still go even if its close to the mark but not well once it goes just tweak it till it loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
