I've got an old Jensen GT that hasn't run in about 20 years or so, the previous owner suspected that he had bent the valves. As it turns out the cams were never lined up properly after some work was done. I have the engine turning freely for the first time in 20 years, carbs rebuilt, alternator, starter, plugs etc. replaced; and I'm even getting spark...... but no combustion. With the carbs off I can get a little puff by shooting ether down the manifold, but it won't fire up. I've even gone so far as to put a little gas down into the chamber via the spark plug points. any idea what the problem may be?
