I cannot crank this truck. I am going nuts. If I switch the plug wires, it pops and spits like crazy, but when I set them in the correct order, I get nothing. I have replaced the coil, plugs, wires, rotor, cap, points, and even tried ether. I have gone through the timing routine too many times to count now. Every mechanic I know has been here to show me how it is done, and gone home with a sad face. Anyone got any ideas? I think I am going to pull down the road next.
It has a P 7R Tillotson which has a brass handled needle valve that looks out of place. I took the carb down to its components (it was as clean as a new whistle). Fuel pump works (clean it daily). Spark is present, no air restriction, and I had a puddle of gas in the bottom of the intake when I took the carb off.
ARRG!!!
