VerifiedThis has nothing to do with the starter drive if the starter is cranking over strong.
See if a few small shots of starting fluid into the intake allows the engine to start for a few seconds, if so, check the fuel pump but if the engine didn't start with the starting fluid, check for a s spark.
Did that answer your question? If so, kindly leave me a positive rating, so I get credit. After all, you have already made the deposit.
If you don't, the deposit you made will just sit there and I won't get my share of it.
Just because you became a member doesn't mean you don't still have to rate the expert when done so he gets credit for his time.
