"Not sure if anyone can help shed some light,
I cant get my 440 to start
It was running fine even after the oil overfill incident.I left it a week and nothing!
number 7 and 8 cylinders had a little sea water in them,
I oiled and spun as per recent posting
Its a FWC with two raw pipes going to the top of the risers, can water flood back to the manifold if it is cranked over without succesfully starting? my exhaust outlets are below water level
I have a spark
I didnt move the distributor setting
Rotor arm turning fine
Fuel is pumping ok
Floats and valves are opening and closing in carb ok
Main jets are clear, but not sure what route the fuel takes from there ?
I cant smell fuel on plugs when I take them out
But I can smell it in the carb ( possibly from accelerator pump?)
I have a electronic ignition fitted Luminition
New Plugs
New leads
New Electronic coil
Is the 10 oclock number one cylinder on distributor cap thing the same for the 440? mine is at two o`clock when looking from the front to back (damper front flywheel back)
It fires but the starter kicks out before it will run.
Many thanks
