I'm not sure if I'm on the correct form but here goes my question. I have a 1991 goedon smith 160 cfm portable air compressor. Bought it on cragslist it's used I am having trouble starting it. It have a V8 ford engine. I do have spark to distributor, spark plugs, coil, and ignition module. I do have fuel to and in carburator and have checked the Inital Timing countless times. It has started on about five occasions but shuts off after 30 seconds to a minute and won't start again for a while. Totally lost on the cause. I'm hoping someone on this form can help me or point me in the right direction..thanks in advance. .
