OK, have rebuilt the fuel lines, tank, and pump. cleaned exterior of carbs, and sprayed carb cleaner in the throats, but havnt rebuilt those. good compression, supposed good spark (guy who checked compression hooked leads up and told me I had good spark)and plugs look good. impeller and foot oil changed, charged battery...and...<br /><br />cranks but wont catch. tried a little starter fluid, coughs but wont catch. <br /><br />questunes...<br />1) do you think this could be timing? timing belt doesnt look 25yrs old, so Im assuming has been replaced. <br />2) starter running to slow to crank it up? but I thought starting fluid would have kicked it thru that. <br />3) do you think I need to replace rotor cap($115)? wires ($20 a peice x 6)? guy said I was getting spark, but I wasnt watching.<br />4) if I replace wires, can I use a set of auto ignition wires (cheaper)? <br />5) should I break down and rebuild carbs? kinda wanted to start her, and use carb cleaner/fuel additives to clean nozzles/carbs.<br /><br />guy I bought it from says it was running all day at the lake in august. he tried in oct, wouldnt catch. now its mine.
