My car won't start, it cranks but as soon as it does I get a bad raw gas smell. Do you think the Kenne Bell bap could have went bad ?, What else could cause the gas smell.

Only gas would smell like gas...... maybe your engine got flooded out somehow? Can you pull a spark plug for inspection?

I don't have the tools to get a plug out, it just quit running yesterday and I had to be towed home, It acts like it has no spark, if so that's probably why I'm getting the raw gas smell, is there one thing that could go bad that would cause it not to get juice to the plugs ?

It turns but it doesn't fire? Anything in the ignition basicly.

What size socket do the plugs require.

9/16 spark plug socket. It's a wierd one.

I found a 9/16" deep socket works ok.

I cleaned all the plugs they were all soaked with gas and oil, tried to start it, nothing just cranks. I took the fuse out of the boost pump and it seemed to want to start much better then with it in. If its bad I would like to know what the car acts like. I know when Dave installed the s/c he told me the first bap was bad and they had to put another one in, first time happening he said. Maybe it went bad again ? If it turns out to be, I will get rid of it and go with a GT500 pump for sure.
