damn.. sorry to hear that travis. lmk if you want me to come help you check that shit. it pretty easy

[cyberkaa]

yeah it was really weird. its gotta be fuel pump imo. everything else hasnt been touched and seemed fine.

i did run out of gas last week, perhaps that had something to do with it?

Running out of gas certainly doesn't help, haha. Can clog the fuel filter or burn the pump out from running dry. Sounds like you didn't burn it out, though.

not sure what the issue was but i checked all wires and replaced my old and broken distributor cap and now it cranks right over within 3 seconds. thanks to garrett for coming out and helping me diagnose this bitch.

yeahh, but it ran fine and didnt have an issue for over a week. so idk, and it only happened once because i thought i could make it to the next station where it was cheaper. lol

yeahh, i plan on replacing all fuel related things as well spark related things with new parts when more funds are available. i just hope it doesn't die on me on the way up bear mountain.

nice shoes,

Haha. Well, fuel and spark are the things to test, as mentioned above. Looks like you had one source of weak spark so there may be others. Did you check and/or change the ignition rotor when you replaced the distributor cap?
