Re: troubleshooting

I'd also like to know when the last time this engine was fired. Just remember it takes three things to fire an engine, fuel, compression, and spark. So we know it's not fuel.

Also, what kind of ignition system do you have? Points or HEI? If points check cap, rotor, points, condenser, ballist, coil, and wiring to make sure you are getting voltage to your ignition and from your starter.

If HEI check cap, rotor, coil, ignition module (common outage), and wiring again to make sure you're getting your 12 volts to the coil.
