Pat, thanks for the help. Tried it and it back fired immediately.


Okay so let me run this theory by you guys. I think that I have sent so much fuel to the engine prior to getting it to fire that the cylinders are full of fuel and won't allow the engine to fire up. When one of the cylinders does fire it creates a huge explosion due to the amount of fuel firing.

I think this based on two things:

1. I have fuel seaping out of the top of the cylinders.

2. Prior to realizing the engine wasn't firing I had crank this thing over so much that the engine was beginning to bog down from the amount of fuel in it. You could actually hear the engine struggling. That's when I realized it must not be firing.

So I believe at this point I am going to try to rid the engine of this fuel and start fresh. To do so I believe I need to pull all the plugs, unhook the coil, stick some rags on each cylinder opening, unhook the fuel pump and crank over the engine until the fuel is dispelled.

Let me know if you guys think this is the logical next step.
