"As a few if you know, I've done about 5 years worth of maintenance in the past month on two 454's.
I got my port engine running and winterized today but can't get the starboard engine running at all.
This is the one I changed the intake manifold, coil, fuel pump, plugs, hoses etc (same as the other side with the exception of the intake manifold).
I'm so frustrated, it's probably the last warm day and getting a hose to the boat is an effort.
I have spark, I checked that by grounding the coil to the block. I think my issue might be fuel related so I swapped back in my OLD pump (which worked) and didn't get any change.
I'm not seeing any fuel at the carb after cranking dozens of times. I figured ok, I must have gotten a new/bad pump or I installed it wrong which is why I did the swap.
This is the same engine that I pulled the distributor out before marking the position of the rotor. I went through the procedure and seemed like I did it correctly.
Is there any potential connection between the distributor indexing which could create a no start and/or affect fuel delivery?
I tried cranking the engine over with the line disconnected at the carb and no fuel came out. I don't know if the anti-siphon would allow it to though.
I put my timing light on and adjusted it to 0 degrees while cranking. It wasn't off by much.
Right now, it cranks but isn't even close to starting. Also, I replaced both fuel lines going from the crossover valve to the fuel filter behind the pump. I posted last week the I.D. was slightly smaller than what came on the boat originally. The port engine is fine but the starboard engine (the problem) is a slightly longer run, maybe another 2'.
Any ideas appreciated!
