rcarlisle Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Check lights if right will light on dash but nothing more. That's usually a sign of a filament out in the signal part of bulb. When correct, the lever should operate pretty firmly. No mushy or wiggly. The lever feels really crappy. But I think the bulb should be fine since the hazard lights work. Is it easy to take apart to clean the contacts? Back to signal lights... you will have to pull the wheel to get to the contact thing. NAPA has the cheapest puller I found. Like $13.

Jonathan Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 You are getting me excited with the VGG quotes! I do have a IV bottle for motorcycles I can use. But I need a larger fuel line or adapter to feed the carb. Just pour a little down the carb throat to see if it will fire off of that. Do you have the Lone Wolf 600 remote starter button? Man, I've watched them ALL. Some multiple times. LOL OR a helper to crank while you feed it or spray starter fluid. not a boig fan of starter fluid, but in small doses, it can help get things working. If you have spark on one, you should [in theory] have spark on all. IF the lines are clear and all, it may take a few moments to get pump to pumping. If you can get a hose off from pump and thumb over it, you should feel it pulsing air maybe. Or carefully pour fuel in line to see if it will pump back out? Just going over ideas in my mind to get it to speak to you. I would choose the Delphi pump, btw, if it were me. Gotta get fuel to carb to see how it works. I have a remote starter button I hooked up to the starter solenoid. I connected one end to the positive terminal on the battery and the other to the trigger signal on the solenoid that normally comes from the key switch. I used it when doing the compression testing. I also used my blower to put weight on the accelerator pedal so the throttle was open for compression testing. I put my thumb over the line going to the carb and didn't feel anything. I will try at the pump itself next and your other tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlisle Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Last night before I put the spark plugs back in to prevent things from getting inside I soaked each cylinder with SeaFoam. I will turn over the engine after work today to get it out and try the compression test again. I am hoping if the rings are stuck it might help a little. Back to engine... how thin was the seafoam? I use their gas stabilizer. If the Seafoam spray is too thin, you may want to try a few drops of motor oil in there. Gas and thin fluids might leak past rings, where the oil should help seal. Yes it will smoke on startup, but that should go away if everything else is in order. This whole work thing is really impeding progress. I got projects I'm ready to get to as well.

One of those things I got because I might use it some day. LOL I will tackle this after I get it running. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I soaked it in transmission fluid one night before already. I am trying the Seafoam to help clean a little. It was thin so I emptied all I had in it to flush it out better. I also did oil in cylinder three after the low compression test. I think it is on the previous page. It improved the compression so I think it is the rings worn or stuck. Thanks for all your time this morning. I appreciate the assistance. You can get to your project. I really need to get back to work. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 M= thousand, so I'd expect the RAWR is 2,800# You can confirm this by looking at the tire & axle info at the top of the tag. Interesting, I didn't know M meant a thousand. Is that only a Ford thing? It's a Roman thing! M, C, V , L etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
