"I feel it’s close because I can hear the starter kinda shut off because the fly wheel is moving faster." Please explain what this means. Starter kinda shuts off?
1. Do you have an electromagnetic solenoid? Not a foot start.
2. 6V?
3. What have you done lately? Timed it, opened distributor, moved distributor, removed distributor, replaced anything electrical, plugs, points, condenser, plug wires
4. Running good when parked, then did not start? or didn't try before "tune up" or adjust or timing?
5. Motor cranking at good speed? or pinion disengages too quick?
6. Did starter fluid produce any fire, as in: combustion noise? It's not your fault, everyone does it, but "tried starter fluid but still did not start" is NOT definitive enough for us here at our house. There is "Did not fire at all", "fired a little", "did not even crank over", "ran for a second", "backfired thru carb", "backfired thru exhaust"............ other
7. Do you have stock points distributor? No HEI, no Pertronix
Take out a spark plug, leave wire attached, hold threads of spark plug onto good bare motor metal. Crank for more than 5 seconds. Observe for spark. Motor could start, so be prepared. Looking for snappy strong spark. Don't care about the color. Make sure you do it at night or very low lighting. Report.
