Hi,
This has probably been answered a million times, but I am trying to get my newe engine running in the car. So far, not a peep out of it! It's hard to describe the engine, 1.8 case, 1.7 heads, claimed to be running when pulled out of the original car and replaced with a race engine. I have no reason to doubt that. I put my L-Jet FI on it, and have verified the following: 1. Fuel pump runs at the appropriate times. 2. New plugs, all gapped to spec. 3. Dizzy is from the original engine, points were not touched, dwell is at spec. 4. All injectors check out with a noid light. One injector is spweing fuel when the engine is cranked. I assume the others are too. 5. I static timed the engine to the mark, and adjusted the dizzy until points just opened at that spot. No idea where it actually should be. When setting up the engine, the timing mark felt like it was just before TDC. 6. Valve were adjusted with the engine on the bench. to 1.7 l spec 7. I get spark at the plugs 8. CHT is hooked up. So far, I cannot get the engine to fire at all. I even sprayed starting fluid in and nothing. Atomic Ramble is in two weeks. I could use some ideas! I'll be researching this as well here and on other forums! Thanks, Jeff (this is cross posted to Pelican as well) |
