| Subject: | M14P starting issues |
Tried starting the engine again.
Now has a Coy electronic "Shower of sparks" system on it that works very well.
Still can not get the engine to start.
Observations:
Engine fires on #7 cylinder every rotation. All other cylinders are cold. Exhaust
comes out well from right side but very little on left
Teaspoon of fuel runs out of manifold drain when opened after trying to start.
Sparks from all plugs in correct order (1,3,5,7,9,2,4,6,8) when shower of sparks
turned on and engine rotated by hand with plugs out.
Timing at TDC on #4 just about dead on 15 degrees when points open on both mags.
Engine will fire on #7 and then nothing until rotation comes back to #7.
Engine has not run in 14 years.
Engine had 7 hours running on it after major overhaul and was pickled up until
now.
Fuel is correct to the pump and then direct to carb. Fuel filter in carb is clean.
Fuel is getting to carb. but from there????
Has M9 mags. Air start.
Any ideas you may have to get her going would be truly appreciated. The owner
would love to see this engine run.
Peter
