I did do the clear plastic container test and fuel was shot out in good amount and at regular intervals. The car is my daily driver and doesn't sit for more than a day at a time. The gas is less than a week old.
While trying to start the car I can see gas flowing down the throat of the carburetor and can see/hear the jet spraying fuel when I use the throttle.
Now, I have been checking the ignition system by putting the coil wire to grounded metal and looking for an arcing spark. When I initially turn the key there is a quick spark from the coil wire but then nothing else. Also with the coil wire connected I get no spark from any of the plug wires when put near ground. This could be because my battery may be low from the constant trying to start, but the starter still turns so it should be fine.
Could it be my coil? Is there any other way to test my coil??
Thanks,
Cory
