Question
My 1988 325 starter will crank but the engine fails to start,Any ideas?

Answer
Don,
 An engine requires 2 things to be able to start.  Fuel and something to ignite it.  You need to see if you have spark getting to your spark plugs.  

 Also you need to see if you are getting fuel into the engine.  You can remove the fuel hose and insert it into a soft drink bottle.  Have someone turn the engine over while you watch for fuel to squirt out of the fuel line.

 Good luck,
