Put motor back together...WONT START

sorry had a case of H.u.t.a..................Head up the a$$

Speaking of HUTA...

I've done this a couple of times now. I wouldn't bother with guessing. Just start the whole process over as described in the above posts.

purge the fuel rail with the schrader valve under the black cap, but your timing could still be wrong even if it runs

You're 180 degree's out, no doubt in my mind.

By lining your timing marks up with the Tab, you insure you're on the compression stroke. Now make sure you're on #1 cylinder, which will be one nearest your intake (close to). By this point you should have enough wiggle room to get her started, and after it starts if you cant set the timing right (out a tooth), you can just pull the distributor up a little bit, twist the rotor then slide her back down. Now you have more room to play with. Also, make sure you pull the little plug out of spout connector thats not connected to anything (just lying there) while setting initial timing.

There is no way to distinguish TDC at the top of the compression stroke from TDC during overlap just by 'lining your timing marks up the the Tab". You have to have some way of knowing VALVE position WHILE looking at the timing marks to verify TDC at the end of compression. It's a 4-STROKE engine guys, not a 2-stroke....

Exactly, Id take the dizzy out and restart following j's post. That way your sure its right and you dont screw anything up!!

WORD!! i've done this... it sounds like you timed it to TDC on your exhaust stroke thus 180 off it helps me i dunno about you guys but label your dizzy cap so when you pull it off you know which cylinder your rotor is pointing to... just a thought

The above is what I would do! START ALL OVER!
