Bird won't start

[putneyflash@...]

If its 3208 you may have knocked the wiring to the fuel solenoid off. when you
turn the key on you should here the solenoid click. its a verticle mounted
solenoid that sets on top of the fuel assembly. you can remove the solenoid and
pull up on the fuel lever inside the service assembly if it cranks thats your
prolem just push back down to shut it off. the solenoid is always hot when the
key is on.

Been working on my recently purchased bird all weekend doing odd jobs.
Each time I am there I start it up and drive around the field and such.
Saturday I took my first drive on a regular paved road. All went well
and she drove great. Even better on a 4 lane highway. Came back and
turned her off, all fine, little latter started up fine. Came by today
and started right up. Came back a few hours later and installed new air
filter and would not start. Just cranks over but will not start. Seems
like it is not getting fuel??? I even tried a little starting fluid and
it would catch for a few seconds but not stay running. For the past
month she has always just kicked right over without a hitch...
Any suggestions???
Thanks,
