Ok I believe I have a few issues but maybe it's all related to one problem. I got this truck partially to learn mechanics myself but I'm stuck here I can't figure my problem out from reading around.

I don't know a lot so please bare with me, maybe explain stuff to me like I'm 5 hah.

Symptoms:

Before it stopped running it was dying up hills but only sometimes, other times it would run up them like a champ.

Electronics turn on every time. sometimes it turned over, sometimes it didn't (I'd turn the key off and on and eventually it would start) - now it doesn't start at all. Electronics do still turn on though, every time.


I have a new Starter solenoid and also a new fuel pump
The carb is a weber 32/36 DGEV.

It came off of my last Chevy Luv that ran great until i blew a gasket - i'm not really sure how old this carb is.


I took it into a mechanic and they drove it around and couldnt get it to have any issues at all. They didnt charge me anything and told me to maybe try getting a new carb for the hill problem. I don't see that as necessary quite yet, since It's not even turning over.

Thanks a lot

After a bunch of tests I ended up taking a hammer to the solenoid and got it to work .
