So I had some work done on my car this past week. I picked it up Wednesday night the guy did start it for me and it ran like it had always done. Well Thursday night I get home and I want to hear the great sound of a race car, mind you I have it inside an enclosed trailer here in Raleigh North Carolina so it was about 55- 60 degrees all day long. So I go out mind you he does this for a living he owns 9 legends and works on them consistently. So I have a brand new wiring harness and new plugs and a cleaned out carburetor. I proceed to start the car and it wont turn over. I turn all the switches off wait 2-3 mins and try again and again. All it is doing is backfiring and not starting. Now I'm new to the Legends and have not much experience with these cars, what am I doing wrong. I mean obviously when I picked it up it started and the next day it would not. Is it because its to cold been told they don't start in the cold.  Any help will be great to this new driver who loves this sport and this division.

Thanks

Cold.? LMAO!!!! In the negatives here in Montana (-24 degrees).
Not sure what other switches you are turning on besides the main ignition switch and hitting the start button? If you are turning on fans or other accessories; There is no need for that. Make sure the battery is fully charged. I am assuming the battery is good. These things don't like a low battery for any reason! Double check the ground wires and make sure they are tight and have good ground to clean metal. Double check all the connections, splices, etc... and make sure they are tight.

Could something have come loose in transit???

justfreaky:
It is possible. Is also possible that your guy might have forgotten to tighten a wire or some other connection. These things happen sometime.
Make sure the battery is fully charged and check all connections and grounds. Should fire right up!

I messaged him and he said I could be flooding it.. and also with it being this cold. What grounds should i look at. I'm no electrical guy and I'm still new to all this.
