No start Spider



If it runs with starting fluid, it's most likely fuel.  If the fuel
pump(s) aren't running, did you check the fuses?  If the pump is getting
voltage, but not running, it sounds like the fuel pump is the issue.
You can test the pump output with a fire extinguisher, bucket, some
tubing and an associate to turn the key.  Disconnect the pump output
line and use your tubing to route the fuel into the bucket when your
associate turns the key briefly.  If there's no output, but the pump
hums, then turn it off (don't run the pump dry or you will be replacing
it) and check the in-tank pump that primes the main pump.

I'm sure that there are some more experienced folks who can elaborate on
this process, but it sounds like your Spider isn't getting fuel.
