Default What is the problem

Hi
You don't say what the actual problem is. Will the engine actually start? Does it start and run like a dog? Not too sure what I am trying to diagnose right now. One thing that will help though is that the other electrical connection on the carb is an anti run on solenoid. This is designed to instantly stop fuel flow to the carb the moment the ignition is turn off as when these engines were hot they had a tenancy to run on. Without a supply to this from the switched side of the ignition your engine will not run. Some people would take out the solenoid and snap off the plunger and then replace it to overcome this issue. Not really recommended though.
