Recently bought a 1985 w100 with a 318 in it. Has brand new edelbrock 650cfm carburetor on it along with brand new coil, resistor, and distributor. Motor will turn over fine no problem as soon as fuel is pumped to carburetor motor stops turning over or slows down turning over. Its getting sparked and timing has been checked. Lookong for advice thanks
the engine should not slow down once fuel starts getting to the carb. something don't see right if that is the case. have you tried using quick start or pouring gas down the intake and then trying to start it?
Yes I poured gas directly into carb and turned motor over and right away motor stopped turning over or slowed down to a crawl. Once fuel is taken away from motor turns over like normal.
