I just finished my third engine build this year. The 72 and 81 started right up on first try. But my 73 does not want to start. It does pop thru the right exhaust a couple of times.
I replaced the wiring harness, battery, rings, gaskets, seals, points, condenser, plugs, coils, coil wires and caps. I also cleaned both carbs and of course did a value job.
I did the following with the engine installed:
1) Set the valves
2) Set the timing
3) Cleaned the carbs again, diaphragms are good.
I am getting spark. The plugs do not seem to be wet.
Is it possible that I got the valve timing off? That has never happen to me because I am usually so careful, but I am getting older.
I might try to take the carbs off my 72 and try that.
Is there anyway with the engine installed to check the valve timing?
Thanks.
