Fresh 2.7, doesn't want to wake up Options

[930cabman]

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?

I'll put the draw issue to bed with this...

ALL of our modern stuff has memory circuits for different things.
Radio
Windows (auto down and up REQUIRE resetting after disco of the battery)
Seat memory. (same as above)
ECU/PCM (adaptive learning would be lost without it)
Sunroof.
Lots of things I cannot remember right now...

A draw of 71ma is super low for a modern car.

Leave it sitting for 6 weeks and it SHOULD be a dead puppy.

I put marine battery turnoffs in modern stuff that will sit a long time.
I tell my customers how to do the memory resets that will be a requirement every time they disco.


A draw of 71ma MIGHT be a modern radio in a 914...

I don't think a bone stock 914 would have any draws but I might be wrong.

The draw is a "red herring" in the trouble with this car IMO.

Stay on task, don’t get distracted by the parasitic draw. That can be sorted out after you have the engine running.
