I'm starting to feel like the old cliche' ..."work on it all week to ride it on the weekend".
My '92 GTX trailer queen threw another curve ball at me. I've put about 3 hours on a new SBT engine and it's started on the first try every time with one glitch. The starter motor wouldn't always engage. Well, I fixed that by going through the electronics box with my dremmel tool to polish every corroded connection.
Now a new problem...it will turn-over almost every time, but it's not firing now. My spark tester show spark going to the plugs. I switched the plugs with a second new set (the first are new, break-in plugs) with no luck. There is fuel/oil mixture on the plugs I pulled-out.
It was running fine until I fixed the starter problem. Although it still turns-over aggressivley (after many, many, many revolutions with no hit) I've got the battery on a charger overnight.
My SELOC manual doesn't have the spark-gap for the plugs (that I can find), so the new plugs haven't been gapped. Does someone have that number for a 587cc white motor?
Any other ideas on how I killed it?
