starting problems

Post by tmoc1990 »

OK, lets see who has the right answer to the problem listed below.
AN600, removed and cleaned gas tank, new fuel filter and fuel line, adjusted point gap and timing, 155 psi compression, cam timing is spot on, new plugs and caps, removed point plate, cleaned and reassembled, fuel solenoid working fine, valve adjustment is correct also, now here we go, the car will only run when gas is poured in the intake or a shot of starting fluid is sprayed in the intake, and the carb was taken off of a daily driver with zero issues. The correct answer receives a NOS oil filter via pre paid shipping.

Well the first thing I see is that you said nothing about the fuel pump.

OK, has the  manifold been removed? If so, was the o-ring replaced?  Check the brake booster check valve. Remove the hose at the manifold plug the valve and see if the engine starts. To check the fuel pump, disconnect the hose at the pump, direct it into container and turn the key to the on position and see what happens Don B. Laughton Sent from my iPhone

Is it truly running or just firing. If the crank pulley was 180 out you could probably get some sort of fire just from the raw fuel getting into the cylinders. That is why when carb is attached it is not drawing fuel in to the engine it is actually exhausting thru carb.

Air leak before fuel pump? Or did not clean fuel pick up pipe.   Do we have fuel at the carb?
