SHO-Z Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Your Distributor is 180° out of the timing mark. Move your spark plug wire 180° around the cap and it should start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHO-Z Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 It sounds like you are new to working on a motor. The engine turns Twice to every turn of the dizzy. Take off of the dizzy cap and look were the rotor is pointed when the timing marks are lined up. Put #1 spark plug there and use your firing order to set the rest. Try to start the engine. If it doesn't start and is firing back through the carb rotate the wires 180° around the dizzy cap. Keep it safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
