This thread is..well...pretty obnoxious so far :p
If the lanyards in, check for spark then fuel pump.

Pull a spark plug, reconnect the plug wire, and then crank it over. See if you have spark getting to the plug.

I had a no start problem on my 1st attempt this spring and it ALWAYS fires in short order. Manifold was wet with gas so I pulled a plug, held it aginst a manifold bolt only to find no spark. Damn!

When double checking everthing, I noticed that I had only connected up one battery. After connecrting the other battery, I had spark. Turns out my MSD sparkbox must pickup its power from my #1 battery (cranking) only. (Gee, think that red wire ring terminal does anything?)

Is usually the little things we overlook that frustrate us the most.

EFI or carb? I'm dealing with some EFI computer problems right now.

Ok,, assuming you had spark ( you never said yes or no ) ,,, you eliminated alot of systems and narrowed it down to fuel,,,,,,,,. assuming nothing catastrophic happened.

Well assume you have efi because carb would be very obvious if you were getting fuel or not.

find a pressure guage and see what you have.

Bobnoxious 04-26-2004 11:29 AM

it is a carb nothing fancy got fuel no spark. I guess it is time to buy a coil or module. I
