Number One Cylinder | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Gentlemen,

Back in October I solicited any information regarding why my 1776 would not run on number one cylinder. A good friend Craig Craddock and I checked everything out and couldn't come up with an answer.

Well, this weekend we went back to square one working our way up from bottom to top. Six hours later we're at the top. I have twin ICT 34's. So we switched them from side to side, and WHALA! The fire in number three went out. Took the Weber apart and found the center jet laying in the bottom of the bowl. We had never heard of this happening, ever, and both of us have done our share of trouble shooting.

Later,

Jim Doyle

Anything can happen. If you have a good spark at the right time and compression it has to be carburetion...
