ok got a adapter put old carb back on and it will fire but imediatly dies so put the ede 600 back on same thing quick fire then die pulled num 1 plug out to check order again and the plug was wet with fuel and very black dont want to replace plugs and spend the extra money if its not that. if the plugs are fould wopuld it not run at all? how could i have fould all 8 before getting it started the first time. to much pumping? really pullimg my hair out[/QUOTE
Pull ALL the plugs, if you have a blow gun blow out all the cylinders from the spark plug holes. Clean/spray all the dplug down with brake cleaner/either. Before putting the plugs back in, check the gap and again double check for spark while cranking & check for color of spark. Should have a crisp snap of a spark and blueish.
When you say it dies "imediately" are you meaning that if fires while cranking and then dies when you let your hand off the ign. key as in it's going from the "Start" position to the "Run" position and then dies? If this sentence is true you might have burnt out your balast resistor. If I were you, I would do the plug cleaning and blowing out, then take a good known jumper wire from the battery + to the "+" side of the coil, then start the engine and see how it runs. In essence what you will be doing is illiminating the balast resistor from the circuit. Now you don't want to run it this way for more than a few minutes however.
Try this and check back in.
