still not starting well
I'm about ready to give up on this damn thing.
I've replaced just about everything I can and my engine still doesn't start well.
Sometimes it fires up with a flick of the ignition. Other times (like yesterday) I crank on it for a half hour and have to give up.
Once it is running it idles perfectly, it has NEVER stalled off idle for any reason other than me making an error with the clutch.
When I installed the cam I didn't degree it in, I just used the two timing dots. It idles fine though (226 .050 hyd) so I wouldn't think the start up issues have anything to do with that.
I'm ready to take a sledge hammer to this thing so anyone with ANY ideas at all please let me know.
thanks
