You don't spray the SF in the carb...you shoot it down the plug hole...otherwise you'd never know if you had a clogged jet in the carb.


Try the SF again down the plug hole. If it starts then it's carb related...


Did you ever check your plug after all that engine cranking? Was it wet or dry?

I found 3 cuts in my intake manifold I ordered a new one it should be here Friday I'm sure it dosent help the case but it can't be the whole problem could it especially when it won't start spraying sf in the plug hole?

Check if the piston is at TDC (by looking down the plug hole) when the flywheel says it is. A sheared flywheel key would put ignition timing off.

I was going to suggest timing next, but merryman beat me to it. I'm still curious about the plug being dry even after continuous cranking however...


So to summarize, you have confirmed spark & compression, but when you shoot a healthy amount of SF in the plug hole it doesn't fire...correct?


If timing is good I'd also look at the valves and ensure they are to spec and not stuck close...


Because you're getting a dry plug after cranking and you cleaned the carb I'd be curious how strong your engine pulse is...you should feel a pretty good pull when you put your hand over the carb intake and crank the motor...

I will check the timing next time I get a chance I have good compression and strong pull over intake and when I spray sf it still won't start no matter how much or where and yes plug is bone dry no matter what

So...you're saying if you spray SF directly down the plug hole (3-4 seconds worth), insert plug and then pull plug out it will be bone dry?? If that's the case it's time for a leak-down test...


The fact that your plug is bone dry after all that cranking is definitely pointing to a fuel delivery issue...


If your rings can't hold the fuel in the cylinder then that's another issue as well...

Here we go again, assuming the engine isn't seized:-

I always check the starter circuit with a fairly high wattage test lamp, one lead to earth t'other to starter live post, switch on, press start button, if the lamp lights but the starter doesn't spin, faulty starter. If the lamp doesn't light but the solenoid clicked, faulty solenoid. If the solenoid doesn't click, check if power is getting to it by connecting the test lamp between the thin wires and pressing the start button. If the lamp lights, faulty solenoid, if it doesn't, things get complicated as it can be the lock-outs or starter button, or the wiring.
