Bought the '70 from a guy in Towson that runs a Muffler shop. He could start it with starter fluid but it didn't have enough fuel pressure to run. It needed tires and heat exchangers as well. So now it has the exhaust fixed, wheels and tires and fuel pump.
There is spark at the cyl., fuel at the cyl. and good compression but still won't start except on fluid. It is stock in configuration. I can't say much more 'cause it is being repaired by the tech up there but he isn't familiar with early Bosch systems. Any ideas? |

Do you have known good fuel pressure?
is the fuel filter clogged? Is the gas in the tank older then 1 year old? Zach |
