Hello all,
I'm trying to help my buddy get his truck running again. It's a 85 v6. I'm assuming its a 2.8. Haven't dealt with the older trucks much so I'm semi-lost. So here's the problem. The truck ran fine. Then it was parked for about a month. He went out to start it the other day and it wouldn't start. So he calls me and I ride over. The truck turns over fine, but won't ever hit. I checked spark it looks a lil weak but I might be trying to give it to much credit. Looked down in the carb it's getting fuel. If you turn it over for a few seconds all of a sudden it will let out the loudest backfire I have ever heard from a vehicle. He hasn't had the truck all that long so we are going to go ahead and do plugs and wires. Anything else I should check into?
Sorry for the wall of text.
