Won't start, any ideas?

My 77 has been sitting awhile in the back yard. I would list the motor specifics, but this picture should be sufficient ;D

Well, for one I think you need more then just a roof to call it a Bronco. Do you a glove box door and a title to go with that storage unit?
The fact I don’t even see an engine compartment might be a problem as well.

It is just missing gas and spark. Pour half a gallono of diesel on the right rear, than use a bic lighter for spark, and I will bet it starts right up. Might want ot take the top off first though.

RAY, Damn it! You owe me a new keyboard! I had to swap in my spare just to finish typing this.

We really need to get coke alerts on this board.

(for those of you not familer with coke alerts, it's basicly like a smiley except it is a picture of a Coke. It is a warning to put your coke down and finish swollowing before you continue reading. minimizes that coke in the keyboard issue)

I really like the bronco storage unit/mother in law apartment.

Glad you understood that with all those typos.

I really like the idea of putting my mother in law under that -- no door %)

Most mother in law's don't like spiders or smelly gas cans, so it would be an ideal deterrent for that long visit.....

Glad some of you could get a good laugh out of this, sometimes working on our bottomless money pits can be frustrating. The shed all started one day when I shoved my lawn mover under my hardtop. Not wanting it to rust, I put it up on blocks, then 2 blocks, then 2x4 walls. However, things got out of hand and it grew a door, brick floor, shelves, functional rear lift gate, weather proofing, paint job.....

That isn't bad for typos.
I deal with poorly translated international documents almost daily. I just read for the meaning, not what is actually written.

You do realize, of course, that you don't need a lawn mower when you have rocks for a lawn...right?

 

[bronko69er]

I think bax has a tie rod that will get you on the road ;D

 

[justinoshea]

Only if it made of 1/2" Chinese aluminum tubing ;D

Oh, and yes I do have grass in the back yard, it's the Labrador lavatory. If I could only find an EFI kit to replace the lawn mower's toilet, I mean carburetor.
