Any help would be appreciated.
Installed a rebuilt head on my 3400 3cyl gasser and can't get it to fire up. I gapped the 405 plugs to .025 and have spark to them. I've got the fuel line gravity fed for the time being, just to reduce one more problem although the tractor won't fire even with starter fluid sprayed right into the intake manifold. I adjusted the valve lash to .015 intake and .018 exhaust, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something. Has anyone got anything for me to go on? What is the best way to adjust the valve clearance? The way I did it was to bar the engine over until the distributer points just close at each of the three flat spots, and then gap the lash. Am I on the right track. The service manual doesn't give much info on how to go about adjusting the valves. I'm just about out of ideas, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
