flathead prblems and Im lost
I have the 239 flathead and have installed so far the new fuel pump and carb. At that point I got the truck to start. It seems to not be running on all cylinders, when we pull wires strange things happen. We pull #6 and ground the wire to block and the engines seems to run better, the reves come up. So we thought we would change out the distributor and wires. I moved to the MSD Pro billet Ready to run distributor and wires. We used the trick with oil and a tube to make sure we were TDC on plug one. The engine one again started with same problems. # 6 pulled seem to make the motor run on more cylinders. We were able to pull 1, 2, 3 and 4 while engine was running with no affect to how it was running. When we pull #8 the engine does drop like it was running on 8. We then pulled 8 and 6 and tried to start motor and it started. Im running out of ideas and thought I would see if you have any we can try. By chance do you know anyone in Calgary that knows much about the flathead? The other thing is we are seeing a lot of raw gas dripping from the carb and the odor of raw gas. Any Ideas would be so helpful Thanks Dave
