Up date on my little truck



It has been over a week now and we think we know the problem. Just to get you back up to speed. Last Thursday truck ran great and then it stalled out. Would not start again. I have taken the front end of the engine apart to check things out. We thought at first it was the starter. That LOOKED okay. Then Bob thought it was the crank shaft sensor. Replace it. Now it has to be the timing belt. HAS TO BE. There is nothing left. So took it all apart and found nothing wrong. Now what? Took starter off again and took it to Patrick at Bay Street Garage. He told me that is the problem. Okay he repaired it and I put it back in on Wednesday and it starter up,GREAT. Now yesterday I was putting the engine back together. All ready to start it up. NOTHING. It will turn over BUT not start. NOW WHAT? Bob and I put some starter fluid in the carb. It must be the spark. Maybe I pulled a wire off while putting it together? Bob said let us look at the cranking sensor. He was thinking I might have pulled the wires off of that. So the picture above shows the plug. Maybe it is fried? Today we will see what happen. I will go down to AID and buy another plug? 
Oh Lord help us figure this out.
