I've spent the last few months building a 2056 from scratch and tonight the project finally came to the point where I could fire the beast up. Oil pressure came up pretty quickly (30 - 40 seconds). Once pressure had been established, I installed the spark plugs and fired the motor up. Once running, I had to pump the throttle keep the motor from quitting. Holding the throttle open at any one setting resulted in the motor stopping from what seemed to be fuel starvation.
- Timing: Set this on the fly and it didn't affect this particular aspect of the motor's running behavior
- Stock D-Jet
- Points and dwell: Running a new Pertronix unit
- Fuel pressure and pump: I don't know what the pressure numbers are, but the pump and regulator worked great two months ago on the old motor.
- ECU: Also worked great on the last motor
- Cam: Running a new Raby 9550
I'm pretty worn out, so it might be something more obvious that I'm missing. I should add that the engine sounds mechanically spot-on. Hooray!
Any help or troubleshooting ideas you're able to provide would be most welcome.
