Yet another: my 88 1500 will not start question...

[ltetz]

Has not been idling, and running rougher lately. Other day I could not start it...
What I have done...
Battery fully charged. Over 12.5 volts even while starting
2: can hear fuel pump cycle when hit run on kill switch. And see a burst of fuel through fuel filter.
3: pulled off air filter, spray starting fluid.. not much difference.
4: it dometimes fires for a second. O have seen a mist shoot up from carbs periodically
All lights and gauges come on ok.

But it won't catch and start. Any ideas???

Did you check plugs for spark?

Excellent question. Eventually took off panels to get to plugs. Found them very fouled (not sure if I had mention it had been running rough. And getting worse). Cleaned them up, purring like a kitten, and is idling again....happy camper here!
