I'm trying to get my new engine started for the first time. It's an IO-360-M1B.
It cranks and cranks, but no start. In my troubleshooting of spark & fuel, I've found one curious thing about the fuel: I can verify fuel flow through the entire system right up to the flow divider, but there's no fuel coming out the aluminum lines to the fuel injectors. The spark plugs are also dry after start attempts.
I actually have a spare flow divider from my last engine which I suppose I could try tomorrow (with a full charge on the battery); I just figured an engine right out of the box should run right out of the box..
Thoughts?
