My new 2.0 won't start, Need help!! Options

[kkid]

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,

That is not the flywheel, it's the cooling fan. That IS a timing mark which may or may not indicate TDC. I think It may indicate 27 deg BTDC. The timing mark on the flywheel is viewed through a hole where the trans and engine cases come together, from underneath.
Assuming both pictures were taken without rotating the crank AND assuming that is the 27 deg BTDC mark then It looks to me (not an expert) that your timing is retarded 27 deg when its not running. That may keep it from running.

So I wonder... If you rotate the dizzy clockwise 27deg, to match up with the timing mark on the fan, would it start???
At least I think it's clockwise (not an expert).

Good luck!

You're right! It's a cooling fan not a flywheel that's we're looking at. On my 2.0, I believed the TDC is painted in white and timing mark is a red skinnier mark. How's yours, BOB?

Speaking of a flywheel, if we see the engraved mark(TDC) from the window underneath where the cases are mated, it means the TDC for both #4 or #2. Am I understanding this correctly?
