Because there’s no compression!?
Because there’s no compression!?
I'll admit, I'm learning this as I go... Why does it crank over perfectly when the cylinder head is removed?
Going way back to the OP- if it started correctly when jump started, but not on its own, it's in the battery, connections, or less likely, the starter.
Here's what I have. Red is from the battery; black is to starter. This is how I originally had it, until I looked at things online last night and realized that the battery post is on the same side as the little post, so that's why I swapped things at first today; after it failed, I went back to what I had. The battery is connected to the motor ground; ignore the green wire off of it--it doesn't go anywhere.
