Default 89' power ram wont start

Ok I have checked the battery its good and strong(horn works, lights works, blinkers work, wipers work). When I try to turn it over it the automatic choke engages and nothing... I think its either the starter and or solenoid? Ill get the starter checked @ a later date.

are u gettin spark and fuel??

u need to yank the coil wire and ground it to the block or body with a screw driver. whatch for a spark to jump the gap to the truck.

make sure theres fuel to the carb
remove the supply line from the carb, crank ti a couiple times really quick like. if fuels spillin, it fillin.

now when was the fuel filter replaced last?

have you tried startin fluid in the carb??

So when you turn it over theres no clicking noise If Not i say the starter is bad or the ignition is. Does everything else work when yo turn on the key, radio, door buzzer, etc? If it does then the wire going to starter or the starter itself is bad.
