Once I had a later TR-6 in that wouldn't start despite the confirmation of fuel
flow
and spark - DPO had hooked up vacuum line to brake booster with a T fitting and
then
into the charcoal evaporative line for the float bowls found on the later Zenith
carbs. When cranked, the float bowls would see the same vacuum as the venturis
and no
fuel was drawn up into the engine.
Not exactly the easiest theft system to use as you'd have to swap a couple
hoses under
the hood, but boy was it tricky to figure out...
P.S. My bio on the way soon!
Cheers!
