So we just installed our rebuilt engine and after sorting out a leaky carb, and a timing issue there are finally some signs of life. Although not too many signs because it won't start. The noise it makes is a ra-ra-ra-put-put-put where the ra's are the starter and the put's are combustion. It's like the engine catches but then dies after a few cylinders fire. We're running 34 ICTs on a 1.8 (formally a 1.7) with a Facet fuel pump running 4-7psi.
My initial reaction (after double checking the timing) would be to open the idle screws to allow more fuel. But it seems like if that works, then pushing the pedal down some during start up would work but it doesn't. Any ideas? Thanks Attached image(s)

Try spraying some fuel direct in the carbs and see if it fires.
Check timing. no more ideas from me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

I went cross eyed looking at the picture but I think you plug wires are in the wrong order.

Now that you have the plug wires in the right order, check to make sure (take off the cap) and see if its timed right. Should be firing at about 0- TDC when after #1 intake valve has closed. If not, you have screwed up the installing the dizzy drive (common mistake).

I see you made it back from the "Exile Board" (pelicanparts).
Way to go (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (with getting it running). Small turns of the dizzy can do wonders. |
