Hi Guys,
I have an 88 740 gle that was running fine. Except for being a little rich, and on Friday it quit going down the driveway. Figured it was low on fuel, so put in 5 gal, and still no joy.
Timing is fine, seems nice and hot, checked and all aligned properly, good, new belt. Has fire, has fuel and when I pull a spark plug I see fuel being injected into the chamber.
Any suggestions?????
It tried to start today but more of a sputter, then it just turns over. Compression is good, and upper and lower timing sprockets are properly aligned.
Anything may be helpful. Thanks,
