Ok well i drained all my fuel cuz i thought it was pretty old and when i took it out it looked like REALLY dark apple juice, i know gas is ussually a tint of yellow but this was way too dark to seem normal to me although it was plenty flameable when i soaked a small peice of paper towel with it and lit it on fire hehe. Anyone know why this would be like this?
Anyway back to my original question... when i was done siphoning as much fuel as i could from the fill hole i thought id try to give it another try to start it. Thought maybe if it did start it would idle off what fuel was left in there. So when I tried to start it, it cranked about three times then POOF!!! the rubber intake tubing popped off like it had an intake backfire. Anyone know what this could be from? Im starting to think its timing but i did EVERYTHING right when doing the timing. Set it to TDC then lined the distrbutor up with spark plug #1 etc. Is there a certain way the cap must be facing? Mine has plug #1 facing the top of the distributor. Help i need to figure this out quick!
