flatcat19 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Great post. Suck. Squish. Bang. Blow. What's missing? Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 that sounds kinky flatcat... he is right though, does the carb squirt gas, does the engine turn, is there spark? if it turns, has gas, and has spark, check timing. If timing is good check compression. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 took head off had service new coil new timing chain and gear new distributor will not start This description is to vague guy, there is more to it than that. What engine do you have? Was the engine at TDC when you set it up/put it together? Is the new distributor an electronic one, or does it have points, this is an important question?

flatcat19 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Why was all this done? Who did it? What exactly was done? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Change head and tensioner fell out so chain was replaced, wouldn't start so right away replace the coil, still no start so duh... replace the distributor. We're all caught up. Starter and carb likely next. Quote Link to comment
