more 283 starting problems.
few questions on starting the 283 that has been setting for 20 or so years. Already drained the gas, carb overhaul, new points, condenser, plugs, wires, new fuel filter, oil, oil filter.
1) correct pont gap? .19??
2) firing order 18436572 ?
3) from front are cylinders on left 2468 and right 1357?
4) correct wire placement on the cap? which connection should be the wire number one? I think the rotor rotates counter clockwise.
4) distributor is in the rear, where should the vacumn be pointing when looking at it from the front?
5) even with carb starter fluid I still cant get the engine to run..it tries to turn over but it just won't catch. any thoughts?
even with the point gap off and the timing shouldn't it still crank over and atleast run rough?
some thoughts were to remove the top of the carb, fill the bowel with fresh gas, trie a new pointless distributor, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Thanks,,Paul
