Truck
I have been driving it on and off
Yesterday I drove to and from the airport, no problems
Drop off my friend and no start, spinning fast, but no fire, not even a hiccup.
Got fuel, electric pumping
Power to the shut-off solenoid
A little click sound when I connect the wire, not as loud as I recall it being
No start
It is noticeable hot
So I think let it cool down
Hour later the same
So I shot a little ether (no glow)
Started spinning and instead of sputtering to life, nothing but slowing down, not speeding up!
Then after the ether went away the rpms went back to normal
My assumption is that the ether was igniting too early
Not wanting to damage anything I stopped.
This morning I tried again and the same result stone cold.
I'm stumped
Help please,
Jeff
