well im working on finishing a rebuild in my 84, weber 32/36, headman header, engnbldr street rv head with 268 torkr cam and full rebuild kit got it in the truck first thing i had the timing 180 out on the distributer, got that fixed, second no fuel so started it putting gas in the carb and it does run just not getting fuel, went and got a fuel pump did not do any good not sure whats going on ran it some more by gas in carb and the starter wont turn the motor over hardly now and you cant even turn it with a pry bar, FML, any clue anybody[IMG][/IMG]

 

if you cant' turn motor freely with just a wrench.. than something is siezed in the bottom end. Or you're in gear and the ebrake is on.

 

well it was a little tough to start to turn it before but once it does start turning it will stay turning easily but it still will run, id like to be able to run it constant though aint getting no fuel, iv got to have something off vaccum wise or something i need to find a diagram of someone with the weber on theres and check there stuff out

 

no fuel, anybody?

 

first off
you did not overfill the motor with oil did you
this would cause it not to start
this would only work if you filled the oil all the way to they top

Second Fuel Pump

Take the line off the carb and turn the motor over
see if gass is coming out
if it is then you need to adjust the mixture on the carb
i turn it all the way in then 3 turns out

 

Didn't overfill with oil. It wasn't pumping gas to the carb I took the gas tank down today and blew compressed air through the lines and they aren't blocked I'm gonna clean out the tank and ill see what I get out of that

 

i hope this is not another case of the rock knock.

sub'd

 

check that the fuel lines are correctly hooked up to the fuel pump?

is the fuel pump arm riding correctly on the fuel pump drive?

 

you didnt hydro lock the engine with dumping gas down the carb; it can happen.... pull the plugs out and try to rotate the engine over...

if you still cant turn it over


pull the oil pan off get plastic gauge and the bearing caps and rod caps

you may not have enough clearence between the valves and the pistons and

just a few toughts for ya...

 

Lines on the bottom of the fuel pump where backwards luckily and dropped the oil pan the problem was in the number two rod cap. Bought anpother set of rod bearings and changed just that one and for some reason that fixed it all is good now
