Make sure fuel is getting too the carburetor. The carburetor might not be getting fuel or it could possibly be getting too much fuel. Adjusts the carburetor.
Sounds like you flooded it. Pop the plugs out and let the gas evaporate and try it again.
1. Make sure you are getting fuel to the carb... 2. If you are getting fuel and spark to you spark plugs and the plugs are wet, You more than likely have a timing problem.
try to get a new ignition rotor
possibly the wire from the coil to the cap, or a cracked distrib. cap, or a worn rotor, have you checked your ignition module?
It should try to start at least. It may or may not actually start but you should hear it fire on the 2 good plugs. Why not just replace all 4 spark plugs?
Something obviously isn't right. Possibly improper points, points improperly gapped, coil bad, or any number of things. ..... Replaced coil, coil wire & new battery.
Check and clean your spark plugs that might be the problem.
Check/replace Rotor Check for spark at plugs
Sounds like you flooded it. Pop the plugs out and let the gas evaporate and try it again.
You may have switched the ignition wires when you changed your plugs. I did this once and my kia started, idled terribly, then stalled after trying to drive. Go back and swap the wires that fit on top of your plugs and see what happens.
1975 for the HEI (High Energy Ignition) system (no more ignition points)
Check the terminals in boots are fully snapped on to ends of plugs. Also proper torque on plugs. Remeber if loose, thee is no compression & gases won't fire.
no The starter should engage whether the plugs are fouled or not. However, the engine may not start if enough plugs are fouled. If you feel that you have flooded the engine or fouled the plugs you may need to clean them before it will start. If you have caused the carburetor float level or other settings to be significantly changed, the engine will flood and it will not start.
check your distributor ignition module and go test it...
If it turns over but seems to buck & choke you may have the wires on in the wrong order. Did you do them one at a time? Does it try to start?
In short,it can be alot of different causes,First when is the last time you replaced the spark plugs or the fuel filter,this can cause your vehicle to take some time to start.
the spark plugs probably need to bee changed, happened to me and mine, cost about $100
