Fuel shutoff solenoid on the carb.... take a wire to the solenoid wire direct from the battery + terminal, make sure you can hear/feel it click (connect to the solenoid end first so not to cause a spark near the carb/fuel).... with this wire still connected, try to start it.... though it should do something if you've tried with aerostart without this..... :) :)

If no go, check points for cracked spring... ask me how I know :) :) and check coil for correct low voltage wire orientation.... :cool:

i would attempt to tow start it for a few hundred meters then look at borrowing coils etc if it does not start.

im sure that you can see fuel mist in the carby when you pump it.
motor hasn't been touched since it ran in the old truck.

Condenser and coil set up properly? Again it might be silly but did one car have the condenser mounted to the coil and the other near the dizzy or something, so now you've got no condenser?

Looks like the coil isn't throwing spark while the plugs are under compression.

will get a new coil and play with it tomorrow
