starting issue

didnt someone awnser this question for you?

RedFish said

original ignition switch fed 2 separate wires, a blue and a brown. One hot in start, the other hot in run, and most have simply tied these 2 together. Some have reported misfire or backfire as the switch changes from start to the run. I don't know what ignition systems those were or how they cure it.

did you chase this down and do as red suggested?

listen man, you need to give some serious thought to your cam
if you've been spinning this engine with a new cam that has never been broke in there is a good chance there is no more assembly lube on it at this point and she is ready to drop a lobe


ive been looking over some of your posts (trying to help with your fuel delivery issue) and i think we need to take a step back and really assess the situation here

you got what?
73 scamp
new tank
new sending unit
painless wiring harness
MSD ignition
fresh build 360
carter electric fuel pump

not enough fuel pressure to run
not running when the key is on



get yourself a voltage meter and turn the key in "run" position
see what voltage is on the coils hot side and report back to us
