Re: Help!!
check the main relay, when you turn the key it should click and you should hear the fuel pump prime, if it doesnt take a look at this link

Re: Help!!
we changed the dizzy seal cause it was leakin', we disconnected the fuel lines,and turned igniton to the on postion, and gas leaked, his plugs was soaked so we replaced the whole valve cover set, when we tried to set it, it just cranked the second we tried startin' it while sprayin' carb/cleaner it turned over the second we stop it shuy off

Re: Help!!
ok...so can you hear the pump prime? and the plugs were soaked with fuel? if thats the case, move on to checking for spark(which sounds like the problem if you have fuel)
edit: just noticed you said it ran off of spray, so i guess its not spark

Re: Help!!
i didn't check the dizzy cause like I said durin' the crank if I spray the carb, with the carb/cleaner the engine turns, the second I stop sprayin' the engine dies.. but I know you guys know best so the dizzy will come apart in the mornin' it's already dark down here in south FLA...
