I took my engine out (dual carburetors) awhile back to put in a new clutch. Reinstalled the engine and now it wont start unless I pump the accelerator pedal like crazy. Also, the tach is not working which seems to indicate maybe a coil problem?
I am getting plenty of fuel in the carbs and a spark on all for plug wires. I tried also rotating the distributor slightly each way to check that maybe it was a timing issue, but that did nothing. Like I said, the car starts if I pump the gas pedal, but will not stay running if I do not. Stumped. Any ideas guys? I'm sure its something simple, this thing ran great before... Anything else to try would be helpful. THanks |

Checking back in, have a look at this:
Finally got time to get the transmission off and removed the main seal tonight. Definitely seemed to be leaking from there: Removed the seal and bunch of scrap metel filaments fell out. I was expecting to find some end-play shims in there, is this whats left of those? Shouldnt they be wider (when intact)? and final shot once everything is removed. Clutch is still clean of oil and flywheel seems fine. Have not found felt washer in there either. I bought everything to do the seal, but I guess I am going to need shims now... What can you guys make of all this? Thanks for input everyone. |
