Default Re: Trouble shoot 1950 8Ba initial start up Help

Here is what happen to me... Had the same set-up, including the dual 94's. Even had a new "Bubba's" Distributor. I assembled the engine myself and yet some knucklehead had installed the distributor 180 degrees out of time. Can you believe that someone would sneak in my garage and do that?
Well I corrected the mischievous act and it fired right up.
I liked the dual carb set-up just because of the old school look. If you are having problems getting it up and running cut off fuel to the second carb and get it going. Use a Uni-sync tool to set those carbs. Worth the investment.
I believe (been a long time ago) that the cam gear will only go on cam one way, just align the dots and tighten it up.
Keep your shop locked at night so "that guy" won't mess with you project like he did with mine... Enjoy the adventure... Chap
