The port engine stalled after start up. Several attempts to restart engine failed. Starboard engine easily starts with out issue. Verified fuel spray in carb when throttle is cycled on port engine. Inspected and replaced fuel filters. Cleaned and reinstalled fuel screen at carb. No debris or water found in any of the filters. Attempted restart of port engine after filter work using start fluid. Even tried holding open the choke while starting. No luck at all.
I turned my focus to the ignition system. I swapped coils with the starboard engine no start up. Replaced spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. All eight Old spark plugs were fouled with fuel when replaced. Still port engine fails to start. I then pulled out the #6 plug re-attached wire, grounded plug and cranked engine to verify spark. Amber spark was viewed however, I am uncertain if it was powerful enough. The distributor looks like an old solid state type, but unsure being a newbie to crusader engines. Any recommendations what to do next is greatly appreciated.
