Carburetor, MSD, Holley Sniper EFI questions

Kipprc
Just trying to figure out here why you are having issues starting your carberated setup right now, with extended cranking and multiple pumps in the throttle to get it going ??

Have not heard what engine, carb, or ignition you are now running. Or what starter you are using.

Having your carb set right along with proper ignition timing and good clean non-ethanol fuel, the single best thing you can do for starting is install the newer generation Mopar high torque Mini Starter.

The thing with the mini starters is that they spin much faster, and they are engineered to take way less electricity away from your already good ignition system, not starving it for spark.

Every time we put a mini starter on the the mopars, we just sit back, smile and say: it starts like it has fuel injection.
Starting Immediately

Was at Cruise In in town here this Wednesday, a guy came in with an 80s Ford 302 mustang with the Sniper Fuel Injection setup, nicely done. Was getting time to leave, he said wonder if it is going to start ?

Unfortunately No Joy, he cranked and cranked, letting the starter cool in between attempts for over a half hour messing with it. Had his laptop out and plugged into the harness, still no joy.

Then finally After 10 some attempts it started spitting and sputtering and started, and then ran fine. Not knowing what the problem was, and he drove away headed for home.

Walked over to the '76 Dodge D100, half stepped the throttle on the Edelbrock to set it, hit the key to start it with the mini starter.

Yep, starts like it has fuel injection.

Warmed it up a bit as the show cars were clearing. Then drove off running nice, heading for home.
