Lots of fuel from carbs and did the screw driver check on every plug and seems like lots of spark (enough to zap me good a few times!!). Its always been a bear to start since I had this motor built two years ago and have had to use Quick Start spray sometimes as it floods so dam easy! But now wont even try to start. Any help or direction appreciated. Thanks Derrick

Combination of a couple things, coil wire had some cracks in it and was wet after washing the car and had a lot of resistance when I checked it with meter and distributor cap and reluctor had a lot of corrosion/rust. How the heck do you keep these MSD distributor parts from rusting. Its only a couple months old!

Just pull the cap and spray everything good. Hope this helps, Digger73 (Mike) I live with fear everyday but, sometimes she lets me race!
