Well, well...
I think I'll call it a day. I solved the fuel pump issue, it was as I suspected. Pumps great now.
Cleaned up all signs of gas in and out of the engine. Filled carb bowl. Hooked everything back up. Sprayed starting fluid down open throat. Hit the starter......got two backfires.
Ok, atleast its trying. Thats all I'm looking for at this point. Signs of some life. So I notice gas leaking around the carb and inspect the manifold again. Its got a 1/4" of gas standing in it. :confused: Is it safe to assume the carbeurator is shot at this point?
Anyway, I'll drain the gas lines and bypass the fuel supply sytem at this point. Remember, I'm just trying to get it to hit on all 6 I'll try a few shots of starting fluid to see if it will run and not backfire at this point.
About the carbeurator. I'll pursue that in a new topic.
Thanks for all the insight guys!
