okay now I got the fuel pump on and it is def. getting gas.
But it still won't start.
It will for a second then it dies. I really think it is the carburetor. Maybe the automatic choke needs adjusting? I'm really thinking about taking it to a shop that is close by and let them diagnose it. I was with this old car guy today and he cleaned off the plugs, they had a lot of gas on them and we ran down the battery trying to start it up.
I got the battery charged up and she still won't start. The carburetor is brand new and he had adjusted it before and it was running great but thinking it is a missing wire or something.
Have you ever heard of a fuel pump rattling before going bad? just curious. I know the fuel pump was bad because it was leaking fuel.
The old car guy that was trying to help me with it today said it could be the timing chain is loose. God I hope not.
He thinks that is where the rattling came from the timing chain. But the rattling was not that loud and it came from the driver side of the car and the day I drove it and popped the hood, the fuel pump was shaking like crazy and rattling so I hope to God he is wrong.
