Hello. It's been a while! Working on a '51 1/2 ton with 216 engine. Haven't tried to start it in 2-4 years. It cranks, but there's not even a small sign of combustion, even after priming the carburetor with a couple ounces of fuel; she just cranks. I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting. I've read a couple posts about testing the coil, but I don't know if that's the best first thing to do. I thought about pulling a spark plug and cranking it to see if there's a spark.
Can somebody please tell me the first 3 or 5 things you'd do to troubleshoot this situation? Maybe pull the distributor cap and look for a crack? Maybe replace the condenser? I'm famous for breaking something, or making it worse, in the course of trying to fix it, so I don't want to disassemble anything I don't have to.
Thanks for any help. Have a great day.
D.J.
