after the dizzy, i had to adjust the carb a bit. i guess i made a mistake in thinking the carb was ready to go straight from the box. still may have a mani leak cause its smoking a little, but hey, its idling so to me most of the work is done.

so i was able to get another look at it today, the timing was slightly off. after i compensated for that, the motor ran much better, it still spits but only occasionally. unfortunately it still wont idle...

the anti-desiling solenoid has been attached and operational this whole time.

im leaning toward a vacuum leak? when i turn the motor by hand, i can hear a sucking sound coming from the back of the cylinder head/mani. i cant remember ever hearing this noise coming out of my old motor.

thanks for the replies. i was pretty sure that i had the rotor pointing at 1 on TDC, but ill recheck it tomorrow

i have to keep pumping to keep it running. once the carb begins to spit it dies.



a little history, its an a15 that was taken out of a totaled car, ive never seen it run, but i have no reason to believe that it isnt a runner. pretty much all of the accessories were taken off of my old a14 motor, besides the carb which is brand new out-of-box.



cylinders all tested between 110 and 120, ive adjusted the valves, the carb has gas. all of the plugs seem to be burning evenly.
