I break stuff...  Group: Members Posts: 1,034 Joined: 25-May 03 From: Oceanside, California Member No.: 737 Region Association: None  |
ok guys, I need help...I want to wake up the neighbors. I fixed my whole starter problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Engine is in, everything is plugged, I got fuel going, all the good shit. I want to start her...I turned her over a couple of times...nothing...no burbles nada... Moved the dizzy a bit to see if I get any response...Nothing....So I move the plugs two slots over to see if it is possibly one eighty out....No difference, in fact, the engine pauses every two seconds when I turn it over. So I dont think that is the issue...Any other thoughts or ideas...could the engine possibly be flooded? too much fuel? Should I disconnect the fuel pump from the coil and try again for a little while...See if it will fire without flooding it, then reconnect the pump before it dies...Any ideas...Anyone out there? Help me....I am soo close... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If it has a pause it sounds like the timing is too advanced, or the firing order is out like mentioned above..
I would get the engine to true TDC by removing the valve cover on the #1 side and rotating the engine clockwise till the intake valve opens all the way and then closes completely. Continue rotating the engine clockwise till the timing mark comes up and you are on #1 TDC.. Then pop off the dizzy cap and rotate the dizzy till you are on a terminal on the cap that is being pointed to by the rotor.... That is where the #1 plug wire needs to be, then clockwise from there the order is 4-3-2 That will get you very close, as soon as it fires up put a timing light on it... ensure that there is no dead, old gas in the tank or you are asking for a seized intake valve and gummed up fuel system- it don't play! |
