Having a problem keeping a 76 fj40 running after a short start. Everything is stock except the carb. I do love aisin carbs but have had problems with the stock one and a new repro from online. Got tired of the difficulty and threw on a Motorcraft some years back. ( I used texicans post ) It ran very well. I posted about it here. No regrets...We are getting clean fuel to the intake.
Our current problem is not the carb. With a pump of the pedal gas shoots down the venturis and she's ready to go. She starts momentarily then dies. Not even starter fluid will get her to pop. So We are getting clean fuel.. we installed new tank, new filters, mechanical fuel pump has been check and all is good. So heres where I need help. I'm sure its electrical. New battery ..The dizzy is fairly new as is the rotor. New plugs and points are adjusted correctly.
throw out a few suggestions ... Im thinking coil- ignitor.. could use some advise on how to track down this gremlin.
TIA
