[howiefisher]

cost me $1400 FOR THE LONG BLOCK it has warrenty what should i do like i said i had a full battry and a booster pack on and it would barly turn ...it might of cranked 20 times in 4 stages would not fire though am assumign the timing was way off the book said to take the hb to 0 did that and point the rotor at #1 cylinder and i had the #1 piston at tdc on its compresson sroke .no fire all i could smell was gas ,should i of put the hb at 10 so it would of fired

If it doesnt want to crank, dont even bother with ignition timing.

If you have it on a stand and it doesnt want to turn over with a breaker (or is too tight and noisy, and the noise has nothing to do with any accessories or components not apart of the long block), now is the time to contact the vendor/manufacturer and get their input.

had a problem with mine when we were building it. pull out the ditsy then try to crank it. for some reason the ditsy/ oil pump drive were causing binding

maybe the timing chain and tensioner is fubar the dizzy sounds like a good place to ck too

Recheck what people said and im sure you will find your answer.

the only thing you can really do is turn it over as much as you can and inspect parts to see if anything seems out of place. Perhaps someone put a super torquing on you main caps? I don't think that'd cause your problems. Only way to know for sure is to tear it down if nothing seems obvious up front

He's got a warranty on it. Prolly not a good idea to take it apart.
