PLEASE HELP
I have a 91 BAJA
PLEASE HELP
I have a 91 BAJA 260 that I purchased and it was running rough then so I got a deal or so i thought.
454 merc engine was overhauled last year but do not know anything else.
During start up it backfires out of the carb alot of times. When it starts it seems to run well but if you rev it then shut it off it is always hard to restart and backfires. The timing has been checked several times with a cheap timing light and the engine will not start or run if it is adjusted anywhere near 8 it will only run and start if it is way advanced like around 25.
Heres what ive done so far to try to repair it
1- changed intake gaskets
2- changed plugs
3- swapped carbs from a truck it was a 750 eldebrock
4- installed an HEI distributer
5- cleaned carb several times
I am not a v8 mechanic I fix air conditioners and repair motorcycles for a living so let me have it!
