Did not start when fuel added to throttle body. Can hear fuel pump turn on when key is turned and driver's door is open. Working alone....riding bike to town tomorrow to get relay and plugs to see if they fix it....thanks. Please let me know if anything else comes to mind I might try.
You will need a helper to crank engine for these test .... First thing to do is pull the coil wire off of distributor cap and see if it has a HOT blue spark from it to a metal ground while engine is cranking .. IF that's ok, put coil wire back on cap and test the plug wires the same way .. Should have same HOT blue spark from plug wires... 35,000 volt spark should easily jump a 3/4 inch gap and pop like a cap buster!! .. Use a # 2 Phillips screwdriver to test plug wires and let spark jump from shank to metal ground.
Thank you. I'll let you know what happens...
