I sure could use some help on my newly accquired 30 year old 242. I've corrected some of the bad wiring (ran new wires to the Alt. and oil pressure terminals), installed a new rebuilt Alt. changed spark plugs, and wires, installed a new main fuel pump, (I can hear the in-tank humming), bought a new battery, changed all he belts, I had some allignment problems , but I worked them out , and they seem OK now.So today after installing the main fuel pump and installing a new battery I hoped to go for a ride, but No. It will start and run for about 5 seconds and quit. I checked the polarity on the fuel pump and it's OK.If anyone can give me some help, I sure could use some . Or, does anyone know where I can get somne help in the Huntsville AL area. ( I'm working here temporarily. Thanks, Joe. See the picture of my 242 on Brick Pic's dated Aug. 10Th
