[DML] Another Non-Starting D

[motarhedd@xxxxxxx]

Hey all,

I've been reading up on this subject in the archives. I had just replaced the vacuum lines the last time i touched it 2wks ago. i had a problem with the throttle sticking also. since the massive amounts of rain here in FL, and waiting for two weeks for my tag to arrive, my D has been just been sitting in the driveway.
So today i tried starting it, and it would turn over and over, but not start. i replaced the batt. thinking it was weak after only 2wks. Same thing. Pulled a plug, got spark.
turned the engine over to see if i could see or smell any fuel. Nothing, no fuel that i could tell. So im not sure if im doing this right, but i pulled a hose off the warm-up regulator and tried to see if it would spray fuel into a container i found while cranking. Nothing. Also tried this on the fuel distributor, same thing. Dad's advice was to jumper out the THERMOTIME Switch connector, nothing again.

Another thing i noticed was the IDLE SPEED REGULATOR was buzzing. is this normal? it seems kind of loose, as far as the pipe that goes intothe intake wasnt secured, and i was able to pull it out of the intake easily. whats up with this?

any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Russell
