Hello,
I have spent days trying to start two engines on 500 and no luck.
In my opinion I have tried everything and now is time to ask for help
So, engine was staring fine and tomorrow morning nothing.
It has enough petrol, there was spark but I have found that block has a crack so I had other engine from a car where I know it started fine, but not in this car so I have started replacing the bits:
coil, points, condenser, distributor cap, rotor arm, spark plugs, fuel pump, spark leads ... but no luck
I need to say that before putting that engine in the car, I had took it a bit apart just so I can jet wash it , clean it and paint certain parts.
There was no luck for days.
Then I remember that in the back/front there is a screw with hole in it that goes into the head and I have made a mistake and didn't put it in the back and instead put normal screw.
After change it engine was starting just fine. Hm. I though I fixed it until friend of mine said that it has nothing to do with it and he seemed to be right as tomorrow I couldn't start it again.
I might have touched something that got it working.
After trying everything for two days again I did the same thing with different engine but still can't start it.
What else could it be wrong ????????
There is spark, swaped cleaned and checked two carburators ...
WOil dbe nice if somebody can help.
Thanks
Marko
