Not starting....

Yes.....cyclinders were flooded with fuel so I removed pluygs and cranked engine to blow them out....good compression...not read with a gauge....

Ok....problem is it ran fine until I changed the plugs and cap...was a little hesitation which prompted me to tune it up....Carb only came after a fountain of gas shot out of the original once I tried starting it again.

They are marked perm.....been doing this for 25 years(my own tune ups) truck has only had to be serviced once by a mechanic for a drive shaft seal....like I said this one is got me puzzled...timing is correct and hitting TDC @8 degrees...

I was told also possible clogged catalytic converters(original)When running it did heat up fast

Welded.....has to wait....getting hit in the east with a storm and no garage.....

did you find the solution of the problem because i have a 87 dodge ram D100 and it wont start up .

Id love to know what happened with yours? I have an 87 D100 L6 3.7L & all the sudden it killed 2 starters and wont crank. Plugs cap all replaced. Repaired wiring to battery and checjed alternator and coil connections....
