Re: [T3] Oil filter? and won't start

[Steven Ayres <comwest@att.net>]

<x-flowed>DavidE=> some types of oil filter adapters ... anyone know
=> anything about them? Are they dependable and worth considering?

Adding a full-flow filter as part of a rebuild can be a nice addition. 
But they're a bitch to plumb on a Type 3, if you do it wrong you can 
cause more problems than you solve, and if you do your regular 
maintenance as recommended, you're fine without one. If you don't have a 
particular reason for complicating your life, I'd say why bother?

=> replaced the plugs, plug wires, injectors and I still can't get her
=> to start.

You've just been through Lesson One: Don't Fix What's Not Broke, and 
expensively discovered that neither plugs, wires nor injectors were the 
problem. They can all be easily tested for faults. Don't throw the old 
stuff away, it may easily be better than what you replaced it with.

=> Any ideas on where I should start troubleshooting?

The FI guys will be here shortly to help -- I'm a carb guy -- but it 
will boil down to checking for spark and fuel. I'd only counsel you to 
avoid adjusting or changing anything until you have a pretty good idea 
what the problem is. If you haven't got a good manual, you'll need it.
