I have a recently rebuilt 2056 dual carb motor running electronic distributor that McMark built in 2019. Car has been running flawlessly until now. I go to drive it today and it's absolutely sluggish. Not revving or pulling as it should. I thought okay I'll try to pull the plug wires off off the distributor one by one with pliers while idling to see if it changes so I know what cylinder is dead. I could pull both driver side plugs off with no change. As soon went to put back on there was spark at the wire and cap. When I pulled the passenger bank off then driving died. Thought odd maybe fuel issue on the driver's side bank but can see fuel squirting into the carb.
So this is why I think both driver side cylinders are dead. Any thoughts on what it could be or where to start? |
