Battery, Starter are brand new. This is what i have posted on another forum if it helps Iv got a 1946 willys that a customer brought in with a used engine to put in due to cracked block. I have fuel/spark/ and compretion. with spark plugs in it cranks over a cupple times and then wont crank anymore ( with a brand new battery/and brand new starter ) if i wait a couple seconds it will crank a couple more times then stop? With plugs out it will crank as long as i want. Im am 99% sure i have the timing correct, but when i have the plugs in and able to crank for a period of time it spits flame out of carb? what could i be doing wrong i have a 1943 willys myself ( as a farm toy ) I have put 3 engines in mine myself and never have had this problem. Please Need HELP?
