Hi Stovebolters...
Yes I work alone...is there any other way???
So far...new battery...new starter....new wires...new plugs..rebuilt carb too...oh yeah...new fuel pump...new gas tank...new lines...new fuel filters(2) also...
My Willys Jeep had a bog bolt on the front of the crank...I could reach it with a 1/2" ratchet and turn it like a breeze..
I was hanging over the radiator tonight and last night too..trying to get the stupid thing to turn over by hand...I could just barely move it...I had the alternator in one hand and the fan belt in the other...grunting like a pig trying to get it to move...
I have run the new battery down twice trying to get it to fire...I did try once or twice to fire...but to no avail it would NOT stay running...
Any insight would be a wonderful thing...
