ok i am trying to start an old project of mine. i have a 1957 235 in a 53 truck. pedal start, 12v conversion. stock except for a accel hei ignition setup. so i have fuel getting to the carb, spark , compression but no bang. set the igntion timing to tdc. (not advanced or retarded)
i can get it to backfire to my hand, if i completely seal my hand over the carb. what am i missing?
i haven't done a compression test. will do tomorrow. but im pretty sure it is ok. the engine was fine before i did a complete rebuild 3-4 years ago. has been sitting since.
any ideas will be appreciated.
thanks.
Pat
