I had another thread but was having a different issue. Seemed more appropriate to start a new one.
My engine sat for a few years before it came to me. I have been trying to get it running to no avail without spraying gas through carbs. Once I do that it will fire right up with no issues.
I have pulled, cleaned, and rebuilt the carbs. The engine still refused to run without me manually spraying gas manually.
So I pulled my fuel pumps and found one had a broken spring inside. I decided instead of rebuilding fuel pumps i would pick up two brand new ones with gaskets. Installed them today and absolutely nothing changed.
My starter is dragging some with a fully charged brand new battery and I'm sure it needs to be replaced. Could that be my problem?
I redid every fuel line, I am using fresh gas in a 6 gal tank, bypassed the fuel connector to connect straight to the filter, and checked all coils by ohm and all passed. The bulb gets tight and holds pressure without issue as well. For reliability sake I am using all OEM parts. I also checked compression cold and got 110psi across all cylinders +/- 5 psi between the lowest and highest.
I think it isnt getting enough full because when i open the choke it dies immediately. Could my timing be off and causing this?
I am at a loss.
