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.
