Portugal Cove,
Now that I've got the electrical system back intact in the car, I'm trying to get it to run. The starter and everything seems to work fine, the engine cranks over well. It just will NOT start though. It's getting gas, it's getting spark, plugs are gapped correctly. The engine doesn't sound like it's sputtering, it's making absolutely no attempt to catch at all. Any thoughts? If anyone needs more information, ask and you shall receive.
 
I am having the same problem. I don't understand. The starter is spining, getting ignition and fuel pressure. but it just refused to start after I played with the clutch adjustment. Have you done compression test to see if you are getting engough air pressue. Let me know your finding

Thanks
 
Oh well good for him. I have the same problem than him. Does someone knows whats the problem is.

Thank you
