351w Not starting.... help!
Hi Guys... I need your help.
I have a Unique FIA with a 351w that will not start. The ignition is MSD 6al and MSD coil.
The engine turns over fine, but does not fire. After looking through some of the posts here on CC, it was suggested that the ignition switch may be bad. I replaced that and it started right up. I thought it was fixed.
Then last night I tried starting it again and it would not fire. It finally did start after about 5 or 6 attempts. When it did start, it ran fine. I turned it off after letting it idle for a few minutes and tried restarting it. Again... would not start. I tried about 10 more times with no luck.
So... this leads me to believe I have an electrical issue since it has started a couple of times and ran fine. I checked and I am getting fuel to the carb.Not sure if the MSD 6AL or the MSD coil is bad. Or, if I have a wiring issue to those components.
Thanks for all your help
John
