1st fire up
By Scott - 09/09/2003 8:06:24 PM; IP 24.125.49.186
I am having problems getting my freshly rebuilt 390 to fire-up. I have primed the oil pump, got the #1 Piston at Top Dead Center, filled the carb w/ a little gas, and set to distributor to fire on the # 1 cylinder. I have spark going to the plugs. I tried to start it several days ago and it sounded like it wanted to start but didn't. The machine shop told me not to crank and crank.... so I walked away from it. Tonight i tried again and a flame shot_out_of the carb. I called it quits. Am i doing something wrong?
This thread, so far...

 Sounds like timing or firing order. -- Dave Shoe, 09/09/2003
