My /6 conversion is going on 3 years as it seems as many do. I had a local old school reputable shop build the stock 2.7, case was done at Ollies, .... should be a great engine. Finally trying to get her barking, but just won't take hold. While cranking she wants to start, but when I release the starter, she conks out. We have a spark (not real significant), timing is close, carbs appear ok.
Is it possible the valves or maybe rings are not sealing because the engine sat for about 2 years? |

Can you confirm fuel is getting down the throats when pumping?

Can you confirm fuel is getting down the throats when pumping? Yes, I am getting a good squirt, but have not measured the amount of fuel. Where is a tiny graduated vial available to measure this. Hi John, Check out partsklassik. https://www.partsklassik.com/p-3813-float-l...arburetors.aspx I believe they are closed until May 12th. |
