OK, my 911 is cranking about once a day.
Yesterday it cranked with my brother messing with the wire that runs from the coil to the distributor. Today I made sure it had a good connection before trying it, and it cranked and idled well. I moved everything out of the way to test drive it and it wouldn't crank. It may have flooded, there was a strong gas smell. After trying to crank bit for a minute it started sounding bad, it was popping or knocking maybe backfiring while trying to crank, but after that it would only squeal when engaging the starter so I stopped. There's something going on... |

I say 3.0 because that's what the guy I bought it from said it was. It's a 2.7 case, but the mechanics thought that it might have a big bore p/c kit and different cams, Who knows.
It was turning over fine until it started squealing (almost like trying to crank it after it's running kind of a sound), it's a new starter. It's carbed, 40ida3c's. I'm suspicious of the permatune (3 pin) unit, it was replaced but I'm only getting into that story if it turns out that it's bad. The distributor is turned as far clockwise as it can go, I'm thinking that is one of the issues, it idles fine but backfires when given gas, when it cranks. I was leaning towards an ignition problem, but Now the starter noise and banging when it does turn over (but not firing) have me worried. |
