Need help with 350 MCI not firing under compression
I'm stumped and would appreciate help with determining what is causing my MCI 350 to not fire while plugs are installed;it will produce a nice blue spark on plugs grounded to the engine if they're no plugs installed in the head but if I screw in & tighten 2 plugs in the head and use 2 additional known good & grounded plugs to plug into the coil wires it will not fire at all .I've checked the timing,changed the pulsar,ignitor & coil but still at a loss .

Re: Need help with 350 MCI not firing under compression
Check your battery voltage.
When you crank with the plugs you are loading the starter drawing more current lowering the voltage. Good fully charged battery Should be over 11 volts while cranking. A weak coil and or ignitor will not fire if the voltage drops to low. A good system will not even fire below 8 volts. Check it in multiple places. Could also have a bad connection lowing voltage to the coil ect. Check it at the battery, then at the coil, and use a ground on the battery then the block and also the coil. |

Re: Need help with 350 MCI not firing under compression
Thanks again my1423 for the quick reply & all the info you provided me .The battery voltage was low so I charged it and got the engine to finally fire up but it would not rev up much more than a fast idle & was backfiring through the carb (acting like it was out of time);I kept going over everything including timing check,adjusting valves,checking grounds etc. and when I was about ready to give up and walk away from it I decided to swap the pulsar coil wires around since the factory plug had been removed & they were butt connected and presto it runs perfect .I really believe God is trying to teach me to be more patient (which I really do need)!!
