hey guys whats happening. I've got a problem it seems. My car won't start. Big surprise for me if anyone has been following my quest to get this car back to normal. It keeps flooding out on me. I thought I took a rotor out but I didn't. My friend says I have a bad Needle Valve, but I think it's more complicated than that. It's got a weak spark I think. I don't know if it's my ignition coils or my blaster coils. Then again it could possibly be my plugs. But what I wanted to know was is there any given way to be certain. I mean the car died on me then kinda started up but I tried to give it gas then it died even more deflooded it tried again. It just kept dying. Me and my friend got it started for like 10 seconds then it died and won't start back up again. My battery is dead right now so I am in a pickle. I'm more than likely going to go ahead and replace my needle valve in my mikuni, if that doesn't fix it I'm gonna need some help out to figure this out. Just wanted some input thanks a lot guys.

well the needle valve would make it flood, also if its a float mikuni may want to check that when you do the needle valve, just put it in some gas and make sure it floats. also could be your time is off. maybe recheck it, dunno if you advanced it or not.
I have extrememly hard starting too with my weber... They are so hard to start, when mine was timed off it seemed to start easy but fouled the plugs every 5 minutes. Now it takes me about 20 attempts to actaully get my car to start lol its brutal..

Well I ordered a new needle valve 25 bucks yikes. Hope that starts her. Looks like I can spend more time with the car now....kinda hard to explain, but she'll be getting the much needed attention she's been craving. Gotta install my oil pressure gauge. Oh that reminds me I need to make another post. Anyways she'll be getting all the goodies she needs.
