BC No start 12a

So, go to my car this morning, start it. Idles like a cold 12a does.. i blip the gas to get the rpm up a bit.. then it ran like crap and died. now it doesnt like to start unless i clean the cap and rotor. then when it does start, it runs like crap again. not sure whats going on.

I'm going to pull/ clean the plugs and turn it over with no plugs. hope its not just flooded or else if it is ill feel really dumb.

a little puerto rican secret. Open the carb butterflys and pour a little bit of oil thru the intake. It will smoke but it will seal. Also make sure your gas filter aint clogged

i replaced the filter about 2 weeks ago. i got it going again.. spark plugs were covered in carbon, and the cap and rotor are pretty worn down.. once i have some money im getting new plugs, cap and rotor. hopefully that will fix the little misfire too
