Hez Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 ok so we rebuilt the carb cleaned it. got a new fuel pump. replaced the clutch changed the oil filter. replaced the fuel filter. new igntion coil car wont start. help? Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 does it turn over or nothing? are you gettin fuel to the carb? / Is the fuel pump mechanical like original or electric? are you gettin spark at the plugs? The more symptoms you can throw out there, the better to narrow down the issue. I would check the above items first....but I am just guessing :( Good luck, let us know what you find Quote Link to comment
