So I pulled one of the new spark plugs, put its wire back on it, held it against the exhaust manifold, had my son crank 'er over and VIOLA, nice strong spark! Sooo from the NOTHING that I know about points I would say that they are still doing their job by the time the spark has made it to the plug, correct? I hear the electronic fuel pump prime like it always does, and no bang? The starter sounds wierd/different to me than it did, and this is when the no starting thing started, about how fast should it be cranking my motor over? My fan seems to turn about 1 - 1 1/4 full turns per second, is that about par for these? If it turns AT ALL (regarless of how slow) and HAS spark it should fire right? I am about to go dump a few gallons of fuel in the tank just to check that possibility off of the list, even tho I filled 'er up and only farted around town for two days so it shouldn't be empty, fuel is about the ONLY fluid that she holds best I can tell! Any guesses? Steve
