Well Im in San Antonio and am in need of some help...
First off my car will not start and I have no clue why.. The carb has been completely cleaned, I have restabbed the dizzy 50 times.. there are no leaks anywhere, My coils read 2.0 Trailing 1.9leading ohm, all my plugs wires and cap work.. tried new gas, rehooked up the rats nest 10 times but for some reason I just cant start it.. I have 2 batteries fully charged and pulled the plugs to flush out the flooding in between each attempt at starting and still nothing
Compression is good and even also and I have done the whole MMO over night and the ATF 3 caps in the car too... PLEASE HELP email me at gnarkilleptic@yahoo.com or reply here

have you watched the plugs fire outside the engine ? shure you know how to do that.

yeah thay all work fine

I assume the fuel pump is working if you are flooding the engine, but to make sure I have to ask. Is it?

Resistance of the coils once warmed up should be 1.35 ohm +/- 10%.

How long have you cranked it for?

cdrad51

and how do you know you have good compression?

Compression tester... I GOT IT STARTED WOOOO HOOOO.. it just wont stay started and takes fer ever to start

Its gotta be the carb then bro. Try spraying starting fluid in the carb and crank it over. It'll run like its suposed to until it relizes theres no other gas on its way. I had this problem when I was getting my car going.. now I just lost a damn manifold gasket and have to wait another weak...

last engine I had that took forever to get started, had 25psi in both rotors when I finally tested the compression...

Just an FYI.

yeah im thinkin I got low pression cuz itll start but not start ya know what I mean.. itll be like runnin but as soon as i let off the starter its stopped lol.... I know that carb needs to be tuned bad but when It takes 1/3 of the battery strength to start it.. it makes it kinda hard to establish a change in tuning

cdrad51

You got a normal compression tester or one that will read each chamber separetely?

I have no clue as to how to test compression alamo rotary did it for me

cdrad51

Now wait a second. Your profile says you're an auto mechanic and you don't know how to test compression? you mean for a rotary engine?

Anyways, what were the figures?

CARLiTO_

maybe it's flooding

AsburyD

wait a minute you made the statement that it would run while you cranked it but died when you let off the switch. Have you checked your ignition switch?

what i figure is the carb tuning.. thats all it can be.. It s got hella compression and spark and in time but the gas is old as hell and the carb is too so thats all I can figure... new gas and some tuning
