A clogged fuel filter can cause that. So can other things.

Key ON Engine OFF, the CHG and OIL lamps should light. If the do not the fuse may be bad.

where is the ignition fuses? my fuse box isnt numbered with anything....
i tested my first spark lead while turning the starter over and the spark was very yellow and faint
im not sure where my ballast wire is because my wiring setup is all mixed up ..
