hello ladies and gents,
I am a complete novice at mechanical stuff, my 81 sc will not run. i know it has a spark and I know it has fuel getting to the cylinders but it just will not go. What do i need to check? Gordon |

When's the last time it ran? How well? Did it just stop, or did it not start after some work? Where are you?

sorry, it was off road for a while getting sprayed after some little B***ard scratched it, wouldnt start at paint shop.ran like a bag of spanners about a month ago, ran for a bout 2 seconds yesterday (like a big bag of spanners) now doesnt even sound like it will start, this all began about a year agoafter the cdi gave up the ghost. so I fitted an msd, whilst this was being done had ssi's fitted, hasnt really run properly since, now i keep getting jolts from the plug wires, tried a new set no difference, new rotor new cap, same but plugs out and connected, all firing with a bright white /blue spark, that much petrol going thru it was at one point leaking from the ssis ! oops! Am stuck now.

Gordon,
Sounds like it was running rough ... when running. May have had an airbox explosion/backfire??? Did/do you have an airbox pressure relief valve [flapper] fitted? If the airbox has cracks in from a backfire or explosion ... it would have the symptoms you describe.
