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 |
