[DeTomaso] Pantera Won't Start but has fuel, spark, good timing etc. Baffled and need Advice

[Rich Hoppe]

I think look more carefully at spark and fuel.  Pull out a plug and if it is wet with fuel you have fuel.if not you don’t have enough fuel.  If it is wet you either have too much fuel or not enough spark.  

I have poured gas in a a carb and the engine will run if you have spark.

So look at that again

Mike didn’t indicate that there was so much as a pop of combustion. In that case, if it was the switch, it would be both wires that failed at the same time which is unlikely?
