Well I am nearly there. Rolled the barn-find out of the garage and attempted
to start it. The key word is "attempted". Engine turned over, but no start.
I am not surprised after 28 years in a barn.
Firstly, no spark at the plugs. I tried using a dizzy with points etc. then
with a Pertronix - no good. I have power to the coil, but I think that it is
shot, so I will be getting a new one tomorrow.
Secondly, fuel not getting to carbs. I have fuel to the pump and it was
getting into the bowl, but no further. I took a pump diaphragm from a spare
and fitted it, but still no further. I have just primed the line by
backfilling from the carb inlet to the pump outlet. However, the gas fumes got
to me so I haven't tried it yet. Anyone got any words of wisdom on this or the
ignition (in case it isn't the coil)?
Also, how do you set the dizzy timing with the Pertronix fitted?
Thanks
