Fuel problems?

Does it turn over?

Does it try to fire?

Do you get spark through the plug? Hold the plug against the block with something non-conductive and crank it, see if you get spark.

Do you have an electric fuel pump?

Fuel lines hooked up?

 

[Damein17]

yes i have spark and yes i am getting fuel. and no its the manual fuel pump. and yes it cranks and try to start.. just wont do it

Does it backfire/pop when trying to start?

timing issues?

 

[WORTH]

start from scratch.

pull #1 plug, stick your finger in the hole, and have someone tap the key til it blows your finger out.

then slowly turn the engine by hand until the timing mark is on "0" TDC

pull the cap and see where your rotor is facing.

I think also that he's got it out of time. Do what Worth says.

 

[sooners2win]

Sounds like a timing problem to me also, I would try what worth reccomended.

 

[xoxbxfx]

yep... what worth says.

Do that and make sure its pointing toward the #1 wire. Turn it counter clockwise just a bit to advance the timing. Tighten it down try starting it up. You are using the new 302 firing order correct??

 

[Damein17]

yeah thast what we thought to that it was outa time. so i pulled the cap and did the whole top dead center thing.. but it was getting late so i just tried it once and decided to call it a a night.. i am going to look at it monday at the shop when im at work. just wanted to see if any other thing besides the timeing would cause that

 

[Damein17]

ok i fixed the no start problem. and there is no virbation. so later today on my lunch brake im going to go fiddle and fine tune my carb a little, and take it for a test drive to see if anything else needs to be looked at

thanks
