Default I have a 86 Mazda b2000 manual carbureted 2.0 timing issue




Am I missing something with the timing. I pulled the #1 spark plug to make sure it's on the #1 compression cycle. What am I doing wrong.

You don't need to pull a spark plug for that because your camshaft timing/timing belt looks good. With the "A" pointing at the mark like yours is, will be at TDC #1. And your distributor rotor position looks good.

You need to determine whether your issue is fuel-related or spark-related:Spray some aerosol starting fluid into the air cleaner or carburetor body, try to start, do this a few times. If it runs for a few seconds then quits out, you have a fuel delivery issue, start there. If it won't run at all when you do this, then it's a spark issue, work on that. This is a common first test to help isolate the problem when the engine spins/cranks. And remember: just because the engine can crank fine, doesn't mean that the electrical part of the ignition switch (the "run" circuit) is OK (test for positive voltage at coil positive terminal with key in "run" position, try 20 times).

I did this and the coil was always getting power correctly.
