RE: Back to square 1

[Don Owen <d4owe9@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary, if she's got fuel, the floats are not set too high and flooding, the timing is correct (not 180 degrees off), then, as has been mentioned, a dry and wet compression test would be a good place to start. Then there is the fuel filter issue. Years ago I tried everything during a breakdown along 'ol Rte 17 in GA, before I-95. I won't mention the vehicle (OK, it had a bowtie). Anyway, the fuel filter was the problem.  Also, as we have seen in this group before, you can sometimes have a screwball ballast resistor. Check in to that as well. You'll get her!

Sprayed ether in the carb, hit the key and, guess what: no start, no run – EXACTLY the same as before I put the new timing set on. Ack! I pulled the coil wire out of the distributor and spun the motor and have spark. So it appears I have fuel, spark and timing and the same dead boat anchor vehicle. I did look at the timing mark on the crank's harmonic balance and the rotor is pointed to #1 spark plug wire when the mark is 0. Weird.
