I just went premix MY CAR WON"T START!!!!

hey guys i just finished puttting everything down on the engine after doing the premix everything seems good but the car won't crank
all u hear is the starting but it doesn't crank at all. I removed this one metal line by the omp it has like a arm on teh bottom and it went up by where the metal part on the top of the engine is i think that metal arm moved the engine to started ... im i correct?
it took me 2 days to do this premix u think it might be the battery?

What ???

Is the starter turning the motor, and if you can get a picture of what you are talking about or describe it a little better I have no clue what you are talking about.

ok guys I was helpping him out with the aid of my wrie-up. The little are he is taking about is the one that connects to the OMP. I am thinking he left something disconnected.

If you hear just s "clunking" sound the starter is probably going into the flywheel, but not enough juice to turn the engine over. Check your interior lights. Put them on, hit starter. If lights dim to almost nothing, battery problem. Did you leave lights on, doors open, radio playing while you were working on your car?

All that rod does is controll the amount of oil that will be injected into the engine and the intake. If you removed the OMP then you don't need it. Did you take the whole system out???

you didn't put something back together right. I would try to find a good rotary mechanic in your area to help you figure this out.

If you got gas dripping from your injector area, don't even dare start that thing, you're only asking for a fire.
