Apex won't run ?

[Reaper]

Did u determine which is the fuel pump relay? If u did take one of the other relays that have 4 terminals and interchange it with the fuel pump relay. The relay with 5 terminals is 4 the headlight Hi/Low, one is 4 the radiator fan and the other is the starter relay. Try that.

When I turn on the ignition relay clicks and fuel pump runs for a few seconds, when you crank it it won't fire !

I think that u may have fouled the plugs. Can u smell fuel at rhe exhaust?

 

[Reaper]

Not really, fouled all of them you think ? Will it eventually fire if they are fouled ?

change you plugs, all of them

DONT change them yet,. I had this same problem twice. Let it sit for 30 min or so. Try and heat the block ( hair dryer will work) Then crank it over while slowly incresing the Trottle.. I know it sounds dumb but took me forever to find help on it. I figured it would just flood it etc.. But after i got to about half way of slowly pushing it it started to fire more n more n more untill it finally kicked and sputterd a bit then took off normal again. Ive gone trew this twice now same exact problem.

Also when it first happend it would turn it over normally and it would spit once in a while then eventually None at all! I thought I was done for but this Cured it.

Thx, guys got it running after it sat in heated garage overnight but only on 3 cylinders. Definately have 1 plug down, will change them all !

I had this happen to me at -31" F. It started immediately and then died. As I turned it over it acted like it wanted to start but just would not fire. I did not want to change the plugs outside when it was that cold. I simply held the throttle wide open and it finally started. It happened the next day at about the same temperature only this time I immediately held the throttle wide open and it started. I posted earlier about this problem and thought that it was dumping too much fuel for that temperature.

Plugs fouled, replacing tonight, Thx all !

Have you run any Isopropel in it, I put some in several times a season. A must in my opinion.

 

[Reaper]

ya, after the fact, doh !

I'm sure it varies from area to area, but in Minnesota, virtually ALL 87 octane is 10% ethanol. Adding more alcohol would be both unnecessary and unwise.

figured it was the plugs, good luck
