Finally got spark (1 Viewer)

[77ToyFJ40]

I figured out my no spark issue,but it still won't start. It has a red spark. It sounded like it wanted to fire up but wouldn't. It still has the original carburetor that hasn't been rebuilt and it has the original fuel pump and it hasn't been rebuilt. How can I get my spark blue like it should be?

You need to use the thread you started and not create a new thread.

Maybe in this thread you can list what you have done. Have you tried to start with starting fluid? Old gas, questionable carb and fuel pump can be bypassed with starting fluid - if it will bark and run a bit you are on the right track.

Hold old are your plug wires etc

It has new plugs and wires, new coil, new distributor cap and rotor. Has new gas in it, and I tried to crank with starting fluid

Not getting fire

My landcruiser does not have a condenser. It's not in the distributor or mounted on the side. I've been told that my year model doesn't have one, is this true or is it missing? I'm not sure when the electronic ignition was first offered. Do you have points? If so, I'm not aware of a points...

Have you cleaned the grounds? There should be one on the engine (perhaps at the starter) and one on the frame. Inspect the terminals - corrosion can crawl up under the insulation and ruin the connection - that could lead to a weak spark. Just cause you bought new parts doesn't mean they are good.
