This must be one of those Murphy's Law corollaries and it's about to cause me a coronary!
I recently replaced my starter (see other posts for THAT project!). That's ALL I did. After completing that job, I got in to see if it would work. It TRIED to start like a CHAMP. No more Rrrr...rrr...rr.
BUT, it wouldn't fire up. I checked the coil lead - nice bright orange spark. I pulled a plug and it has a nice spark. After cranking for a while, fuel spray comes out of the carb (air cleaner is off).
So it appears to be getting fuel and it appears to be getting spark.
Distributor is nice and tight so I don't think the timing would have mysteriously changed.
Hrmph!
