 |
|
My cell phone note was less than clear.
I picked up a running CJ motor that had been converted to auto plugs (my first with that mod)
Unfortunately, life interrupted the process and I let the motor sit for several months before I tried to start it.re-stabbed the mags and timed them. Got it to run and started doing other details. Now it will not start.
The valves are clean, ie turns over smoothly, the plugs are sparking outside the cylinders, gas is flowing to carb and drips out if throttle is pumped. Primer has been cleared and tested.
No fire at all. ??? Suggestions?

Are you using air for the starter? Some seem to have trouble starting on nitrogen, although I never had a problem. Next I would take a look at the start vibrator or shower of sparks lead in the mag. Those go bad, it is an easy fix. It was running, so I would guess the timing is good..
Good luck
