[TR] Tryin g to get car to start after a slow two year rebuild.

[sujit roy]

I'm trying to start my Stag, but I have no signs that it wants to start.  I
got a few pops last night, but nothing today.


WIll two old year gasoline prevent my car from starting?
Battery fully charged.
I have fuel getting into the LH carb as I had to take the float cover off to
fix a leak. I'm not sure abo the RH carb. Other than checking the float bowl
fro fuel how sure can I be that fuel is getting into the cylinders.

Fuel pump is pumping.

I have the timing approximately statically set to 12 degree before tdc. I
have Luminition and a spark is present.  How off can the timing before it
won't start at all?
This is the 3rd time I've adjusted he timing in the many years I've own the
car. so I think I'm doing that right.
