Not starting '87 inline 6
I would like to start out by thanking everyone for their help through out my clutch replacment project.
I currently have everything bolted back on except the front drive shaft.
I wanted to start up the beast for the first time in a month and drive it but alas starting is a no go.
It turned over for along time and then after another atempt the starter relay simply clicked.
I discovered that after hitting the starter a couple of times it would turn over a couple more times.
So I am thinking that the starter is sticking in the new flywheel.
But this shouldn't keep the truck from starting.
I pulled the fuel line just before the fuel filter and plenty of fuel poured out.
This is as far as I have gotten in the process.
What I am looking for is advice on where to look for problems or things to test.
It is killing me that I haven't been able to drive my truck, so any help would be great.
Thanks,
Blindlightguy
