Is it the stoopid BBD carb?

Re: RE: What President Bush

Hopefully not too many people get pissed about another post from me.

Ok, so I'm having a little trouble getting my stock 88yj started. Engine turns over when starter is engaged, I am getting spark, I have plenty of fuel, and fuel is flowing to the carb. For the life of me I cannot figure out where the problem is. It was angled a little downhill, so I thought the carb might just be flooded... it's now angled only slightly uphill.

Any thoughts?

Timing?

RE: Fantasy Football Time!!

Is fuel making through the carb and into the motor? I would check the choke, also. It could be the timing, but I wouldn't tweak it until I had narrowed the problem down more to avoid creating a second problem. If the bolt that holds the distributor in is loose, though, then the timing is most likely the problem.
