Fellow Healeyoids,
I got my 63 BJ7 started tonight after a 4 year hibernation. I blew
compressed air into the gas tank as per some fellow Healeyites advise to get
the fuel pump primed. It worked like a charm. Gas to the carbs. GREAT
ADVISE, THANKS!
But it still would not start though. I then removed the plugs, cleaned them,
reinstalled, choked the carbs, broke the choke cable. Still would not start.
I then static timed the ignition. Still would not start. Then I retarded
the timing slightly.
VVVVVVAAAAAARRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM. Fired right up and
sounded great. I will post some new pics to the blog soon. I wanted to
drive it down the alley tonight but I still need to hook up the drive shaft
and a few other odds and ends.
