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... |

Sounds like multiple issues. I would start with charging your battery. make sure you have spark. Maybe run a separate power wire to the CDI box and eliminate any of the ignition switch wiring. If you can get it to run it sounds like it is way to far advanced in timing.
If you have any shops down your way that you trust it may be time to take it in to them. I once had a customer tow a car to me that he had been working on for over 2 years to get it running. I checked out a few things with it on his trailer. I had spark and I could hear the fuel pump running. I looked at the gas gauge and it was reading about an 1/8 of a tank. I tapped on the glass a few times and it fell to empty. I put gas in and it fired right up. Sometimes it's the simple things that will get us! |
