lowlancer Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 me and cortinakid were driving along in his hunter, sweet as, when he tried to get some controlled oversteer happening, and it just cut out, and just wouldn't start. I check current from coil to dizzy, and leads to plugs, seemed sweet, my assumption was that the little amount of fuel (and associated shit) blocked up the carb and fuel lines when he took the corner a tad too fiercely. The car had been sitting for a while, whith fuck all gas, and he just took it out today and threw 10 bucks of 98 in. Any help? car is stuck on in the country.

lowlancer Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Yeah just turns over, doesn't start at all, like not even roughly. Towed it home last night. Might have a look, depends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 take the fuel line off the carb and turn it over. if fuel squirts out then the lines are ok and it could be the carb that is blocked. if you checked that the ignition is all hunky dory then just cleans the carb and itll be right as rain.
