Hi guys,
I spent last few weeks to prep on my newly acquired 2.0 and it's finally in the car! But she doesn't wanna wake up.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I know our Bay has been cold lately...but today is beautiful!!! It turns over, has fuel pressure around 30psi when cranking(20psi soon after when the key turned off), static timing done after points gap adjusted, all the electrical connections checked I think, and what else??? Actually there're at least 2 concerns I can think of. When I got the motor, the dizzy rotor was pointing somewhere around#4 position when the TDC mark was showing in the round window. So I moved the gear in order for rotor to point #1 as I confirmed the valves were loose. But wondering if I did it correctly. I took the gas tank out as I installed stainless fuel lines. The tank was sitting in my garage for about a week or so then it developed some rust. So I cleaned inside with rust remover. But I might not have rinsed it well enough. New fuel filter still looks clean after uncountable numbers of attempt of starting the motor. New fuel sock is in the tank.   So I am stuck now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) What do you all think I screwed? Thanks in advance, kkid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I'm putting my money on the distributor drive gear is misaligned/improperly located. If the timing is close and you have fuel and spark, it should at least cough...

So I set the flywheel at TDC for #1 first then crawled under and checked to see if the valves are closed with some slack on the arms. Yes, there're some slack on both valves. Then I moved on to the #3 if the both valves're open with no slack on the arms. Yep, there is no slack and tight. So they're open? Could I call it good? |

Install your dizzy with Cyl#1 at TDC and snap some pix of the dizzy with the cap off. Show us where the little notch is in the dizzy's body is and where the rotor is pointed. Leaking injector - bad (and a fire hazard) Gas doesn't last for shit anymore |
