It's turning over!!!! Progress!!!

The new engine is now turning over!!! But the fitting from the fuel pump that connects the fuel line to the carb buggered up and starting pissing fuel so it wouldn't hold enough fuel pressure. It would fill the filter and then start pissing. SO we went and got a new fitting and are headed back to the shop in a few minutes to see if we can get it to run tonight. We'll keep you updated

Does anyone have any tips on firing this pig?? It keeps turning over but it just won't seem to fire. The fuel filter doesn't look to be full, so it seems like it isn't sucking gas into the carb. I had a small flame shoot out of the carb already But that was because I dumped a small amount of fuel in there thinking it would fire up. I could really use some help on this guys

Shouldn't have any fire shooting out of the carb, try advancing your timing. If this doesn't work, you might be 180 out.

It does sound like it would be 180 off to me also.

Well, if things start getting too frustrating, try it from the beginning again......

Check the plug wires again to be sure the firing order is right,
pull the #1 plug and get back to TDC,
check the distributor setting again

If yer blowing fire, there is a timing/firing order issue somewhere. It could be 180 plus one tooth out, or it could have been right on and just one tooth out. Better to start from square one than it is to pull the wrench out of the windshield.

Good luck!!


P.S. - I've never put a wrench through a windshield.


Well, at least it wasn't my windshield!


But that's another thread!

Usually there are two terminals on the choke; a power and a ground. Ground the ground , and for power, run a fused wire to an ignition-on circuit. There are a couple of ignition-on terminals on the fuse block. A 5 or 7 amp fuse will be sufficient. Basically, you only want power to the choke when the key is on.
