Re: Starter drag?

Ross nailed it...after rolling over and firing you don't hear anything. I'll let it fire tomorrow then shut it off, then run it by hand and listen for the starter clicking-dragging-ratcheting noise.

Rolled it over and it fired right up by gravity feeding the carb and it got oil pressure right away, but i only ran it for a split second (still more stuff to button up.)

Now on to the fuel pump...no matter what side i try or which side i hook a combination vacuum pressure gauge to i don't get any reading, which is strange because it's supposed to be a working pump. I tried funneling gas down into what i believe is the inlet, hoping to prime it but it didn't seem to make a difference. No fuel coming through it at all.
