I was wondering if there's a ground strap on the transmission or engine. I get spark when I pull a plug wire and put a plug on and ground it, and I'm 95% there's fuel and compression, so I'm wondering if it's not sparking when I put the plug wire back on the plug that's in the engine.
Pictures, help, anything is appreciated thanks vic |

yeah mine wouldnt crank right, i ran a ground from the battery to the starter bolt and she cranked great! Try pulling a plug, putting it on the plug wire and set it on something it can ground itself on and crank it to see if its sparking.
edit- oh you did that. PUt a ground on it! |
