i tested everything accourding to the procedure that someone posted a link to . i tested the resistor, the ECU , the distributor, and still cant figure it out.
it does have spark when i pull the wire off to test it. it is getting fuel to the carb, i probably only poured 2 ounces down the carb , may be i should try more , i just didnt want to start a big fire!
i checked the distributor timing 3 times to make sure it was on the compression stroke firing.
i think it must have fired at least once since the plug i pulled was a little black , and they were new plugs.
it has sat a while since being built. must be at least 2 or 3 months.
i am going to check over everything again and may be try it tomorrow.
