after installing my engine, everything works fine, Started it and it started right up. I did't start it for about 3 days working on other things like cv's and replaced the gasket on valve cover. I decided to start it today and set the timing, and it starts and cuts right off, in about 15 seconds. I kept cranking, the more i crank the more it looks like it will not start. check tdc on and dizzy, It looks right. check all plugs.


The only thing i remember playing with was the air mixture screw on the trottle. as it ewas runnoing a few days ago to adjust rpm.

after a few adjustments here and there, it starts on the first crank then cuts off, when i keep tryng it feels like it wants to start but not enough fire.

I check fuel, i have plenty. I removed the delivery fuel line on the rail, there is plenty coming out. fuel pump runs as it should ,when key is turned on and at cranking. I don't know what else,
