Good morning everyone, I have a quick question. I've got a 53 Super M, that hasn't been run in a few months to a year. I can't seem to get it started. I've got great spark, but no fuel delivery to the cylinders. What do you guys recommend to get some fuel at least started to atomize to induce combustion? I've heard of spraying gas into the carb, so it's easy to suck into the cylinders. Or how about pull starting it? I just don't want to keep spinning the starter, and burn it out. I should mention the carb has been gone through, and no clogs/blocks or any problems like that. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the advice. I am getting great fuel flow to the carb, and the carb bowl is full. I will try the gas in the cylinders and carb trick when i get home from college on Thursday! Thanks again..

Good advice below. However also it's good practice to remove the plugs and squirt a tablespoon or so of motor oil into each jug before attempting to start an engine that's been sitting a long time. Or good blast of WD-40 in each jug will work too.

Reason: Until the crankcase oil gets flowing and flung up to the cylinders from underneath, dry cylinder walls may not let the pistons develop enough compression for it to start.

Also when the engine DOES start you will be rewarded with an impressive (though brief...) cloud of blue smoke to amuse bystanders.

BOBM, good advice. I totally failed on that one.

If you have gas to the carb, it should start, but it is possible that the piston rings are slightly stuck and therefore compression is down, or possibly the valves are a bit stuck and not closing? But, you're right, if you could just get it to fire a couple of times, some of those problems would alleviate themselves. One trick I have done is to remove the spark plugs, squirt a tiny bit of gas directly into the cylinder and then put the plugs back in. She should at least pop then. Another trick is to squirt some gas directly into the intake of the carb, and keep squirting the gas until the engine is running smooth. I won't say this too loud, but starting fluid can be used in the same manner, just be stingy with it.

try a quick shot of ether starting fluid or gumout carb cleaner and see if she fires. if you pull the bowl drain off the carb, are you getting fuel there?
