What else should i check?

also, i see in your profile pic that you still have the "wire" fusible links. do yourself a favor and invest in some cartridge fuses, its a 2 second installation and should save you alot of headaches down the road. the proper fuses are 30A, 40A, 30A. BTW, good luck getting her running, once you experience a festy you'll be in love!!!! especially the first time you put gas in it

What do you mean by "clicking"? You say it's only clicking but then also say the timing belt is turning and that you are getting spark. That doesn't make any sense. Usually when people say clicking, it's the sound the starter makes instead of turning the flywheel when the battery is low. Nothing would rotate and you would not be able to confirm spark or see the "gears" moving.
Could you be a bit more specific?
Also, the firing order may be correct on the dizzy cap but are they going to the correct plugs? Meaning, where is your plug #1 on the head? You may have started at the wrong end. Happens regularly.

Good call!! Hopefully it doesn't happen regularly to the
same person

Update: the plug wires were reversed, so I put them in the right place, put my fiancee's battery in it and after a few tries and feathered some gas to the fuel injection and it finally turned over. As it was running, I took her battery out put my dead one back in to charge and drove around for bout an hr. I shut it off, and tried to turn back over but it was deader than a doornail. So ill be getting a battery and I should be good. Thanks again for all the help!

What do I win? LOL Glad to hear that it was that easy.

I win'd

Even if the wires were reversed 2 cylinders should still be firing close enough to right to get the car rollin, so obv it was the dead battery+jumper cables!

People confuse the cylinder layout (#1 for #4, etc.) Definitely something to look for before thinking about compression tests. LOL

The good news is that he got it running

I just had the same problem. Not enough battery to turn it over.

Awesomeness happens regularly, I think we all won, we got a new festy owner who is soon to fall in love and get addicted to all the $ he's saving on gas!

Everyone wins here, but I feel like the real winner today. I put $5 in it and brought it to 1/4 of a tank! Who can do that today except festy owners? lol
