The 235 on my 54 3800 wont start. I just finished painting the truck, but I left the engine intact, was planning to rebuild later. Anyway it really did run when I parked in. Now I cant seem to get it started.

Its cranking fine, just not starting. My first guess is that the carb is gummed up.

Any advise would be appreciated.

THanks

1.Are you getting fuel squirting in the throat of the carb when you pump the throttle?
2.Do you have fire at the points and or plugs?


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
