454 not starting
Picked up an 87 suburban last Friday, been running and driving just fine til today. Has a carbed 454, had a brand new starter put in before I bought it, just did plugs and wires yesterday, ran great. Went out today, hopped back in to leave, wouldn't start. Acting like it didn't have enough power, put a new battery in, same problem. Gets about half a crank, sometimes a full crank and then stops. Grounds are good, battery cables and connections are good, even hooked up jumpers and verified 12.5 volts from the battery. Need to know what it might be so I can get it home ASAP

Check the battery connections, especially at the starter solenoid. New? or are you sure the starter (I am assuming solenoid) are new.

did it start once it cooled down? how did you check the cables?

how did you get it started? if it starts after cooling its either the timing is too advanced, heat soaked starter or weak cables
