Good Morning All!
I'd like to thank everyone in advance and I hope I am in the right section -- Please let me know if I'm not
Okay, an oldie, but a goodie: I ran out of gas, added fuel and now it won't start.
The specs:
--Rochester Quadrajet 4 barrel carb
--350 5.7L Chevy engine - stripped, no emission, straight pipe, no cat
--Engine-mount fuel pump
--Electric choke
This is what I've done so far: added fuel, checked filters, made sure fuel was primed, attempted to start with fuel added directly to carb along with starter fluid, no go...
So then I swapped the carb. No change. Attempted all the same as above.
Vehicle has power, alternator works, distributor is firing, engine attempts to turn - belts move, the thing just won't fire. I even tried pull-starting it... You can hear it trying, it just won't go.
Any and all help welcome! Thank you all very much!
PS: It's already frozen up here in the north, and the vehicle sat for 3 days before getting fuel added.
