Well it turned out to be a bad day☹️ I finally did something to get the spark to be reliable so I decided to try and start the car. First attempt I got a couple kicks, then a couple of attempts nothing. Final attempt I got it barely running with me holding down the throttle, didn’t pickup rpm was hanging on probably 2-300 rpm, then I heard a backfire in the intake so I shut it off asap. Inspected and found two of my plastic air intake horns melted away badly. So after inspection I found that the engine was barely running due to the cold start fuel. I pulled one of the injector lines and put a bottle to collect the fuel while cracking over for a couple secs and less than a 1/4 of a teaspoon! Fuel flow out of the filter was fine. It looks like the MFI is toast after being stored for the winter in a non insulated garage! Not sure pacific fuel injection is still around? But I’m sure it’s like 2k for a rebuild which is out of budget and to add to that the two intake horns which are obsolete and no after market parts.
