I DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOUR RIG
1ST THING IS TO ESTABLISH WHETHER YOU HAVE SPARK OR NONE
PULL A PLUG WIRE OFF OF A PLUG, INSERT A PAPER CLIP OR OTHER, INSIDE THE BOOT, AND IN-BETWEEN THE RUBBER AND METAL RING
INSULATE YOURSELF WITH INSULATED PLIERS ETC, AND GRIP THE WIRE OR BOOT, HOLD THE PROTRUDING PAPERCLIP ABOUT 1/4 OF AN INCH FROM PART OF YOUR METAL ENGINE (BLOCK, BRACKET ETC, AS LONG IT'S GROUNDED)
CRANK YOUR ENGINE OVER SEVERAL REVOLUTIONS (THIS WILL REQUIRE A HELPER) DO YOU GET A BRIGHT BLUE--SNAPPING SPARK???
IF YOUR SPARK SEEMS, GOOD IT MAY BE A FUEL ISSUE OF SOME SORT
IF NO SPARK IT MAY BE AN IGNITION PROBLEM
TO TEST FOR A FUEL ISSUE--TAKE OUT YOUR AIR BREATHER FILTER, OR PULL IT BACK FAR ENOUGH TO SHOOT 2-3 BURSTS OF "STARTER FLUID" IN IT, IMMEDIATELY TRY TO START IT
IF IT FIRES OFF AND DIES, OR IT REALLY SOUNDS AS IF IT WILL START UP, YOU PROBABLY ARE NOT GETTING FUEL TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO
ANY OTHER HISTORY/ SURPRISES ABOUT THIS, ARE WELCOME
OK GET TO IT!--ITS GETTING WARM IN HERE, UNDER YOUR HOOD!
YOUR TURN
MAYBE I CAN CONTINUE TO ASSIST YOU
I'M A CJ JEEP KINDA GUY, I AM STILL STUCK IN THE 70'S AND 80'S
LEARNING WITH MY WIFE'S, FAMILY, FRIENDS' VEHICLES
ANYONE ELSE IS WELCOME TO ASSIST ME!!!!
I AM GETTING THIS ONE TRIAGED RIGHT NOW
