97 CC DS - still won't start w/ new ignition coil?

[thehelmet]

I am befuddled - thought for sure a new ignition coil would solve the problem. New coil, new plug and still only starts/runs a few seconds by spraying starter fluid into intake.

Is this a fuel problem and how do I refresh fuel system?

Definitely a fuel problem. Pull the fuel line at the carb and crank engine, if you are getting fuel there, then pull the carb and clean. If not, check fuel filters and pick-up tube in tank.

......................if it is a carb problem make sure you do a good and throuogh job otherwise its a waste of time..

OK guys, thanks for the advice. I'll let you know how it works out.

Dangit, still no go. Removed & drained tank, fresh premium gas, still only fires w/ starter fluid through air intake. Cleaned Carb thoroughly still nothing? I guess I give up....

Oh yea, bypassing solonoid does no good either.

Any electrical suggestions are welcome.

i'm in the same boat, soaked the carb in carb cleaner, rooted it out, blew it out, bla bla and nuttin'

will fire on starting fluid and thats it. goin' for a new carb now, seems this carb here has passages that a fella can't get to without pryin' out the welch plugs. by the time ya get em out there junk
