So I burned the frame in and added fish plates to it. Then started to line the body up. Had to stop and install a roof rack on Betsy's 4runner with the help of @Land Shark

@matzell any progress on the stretch this weekend?? Nothing much happening over on the familycamper front but hoping to get a thicker front skid plate made for the 100 here soon.

Got one of the gullwings finished. Need to paint and do interior mods to the other window.

Good progress made, slow but getting there. Two good long days this weekend. I have been posting in my build thread over here:

Builds - Lynchburg Lemonade, matzell's STW

The portions on this are also 👌 I need to unsubscribe. My wallet hurts enough Ha, my other stretched one may go up for sale once this is back together....

So I go to start the project truck up and no joy. With some thrust spray into the air intake it will roar to life, but then putter out once the starter fluid is consumed.

In the video you can hear the fuel pump priming, and I tested that by detaching from the fuel rail and having it pump some gas into a pan. Pressure regulator shows pressure in the line at 72 psi which is what i’m told you want for L86.

Redid the spark plugs and wires (probably barking up wrong tree here). Checked all my other wire connections - everything looks to be in order.

You all saw my video a month or so ago. It used to start just fine. Only things i have been working on are axle, shifter connections, brake lines and suspension. No messing around with anything else.

Bad injectors? Stale gas? I’m stumped.

Scanner will tell you if you have signals. How much fuel pressure do you have while cranking? Some of those engine are prone to the high pressure fuel pump going out on the engine. I would start there. Make sure something has not chewed the wire harness under the hood

From your description I'm leaning towards injectors.
