I just put in my 2.0 from the white car. Hasn't been run in a year or so, but it ran great when I drove it last. New CHT and ballast resistor, checked out MPS, ECU and wiring. It is a 73 2.0 with all checked and matched components.
It turns over, fuel pump runs but won't catch. I popped the valve cover on cyl number one and reset my timing, so I know I am close enough to start and am not 180 degrees off. Wiring is all where it should be, I know I need to check the CHT again with a meter, and set the dwell again to be sure. What else should I check? |

Hey Travis: I never think time is wasted on a 914 if nothing I learn how much head space I have to fill in. It always the same thing, go back to the basics, timing, spark, compression and is it getting fule? Even if your starter is working check your grounds and the batterie wires and terminals at both ends, the red wires that are on the positive batterie terminal. Besides it spins faster now and that means faster starts.
