Yet another won't start thread?
so now the car wont start! killed the battery, changed it, changed the plugs... nothing! it sounds diferent now, when its trying to turnover, its like one solid noise.... if that makes any sense... i dont understd its been running great!!!!!

You flooded it, which causes you to lose compression (hence the weird sound). To get it started again, just grab a can of Seafoam and dump a couple of ounces down the small barrels of the carb. She should fire right up after that...

but i hadnt tried to start her for the whole weekend! could it still be flooded?
|
You may not be getting fuel either. I've had that happen with my FB with clogged jets. I would deflood it, clean the plugs, a little seafoam and it still sounded like it had no compression. Realised I wasn;t getting fuel thru the jets. Sprayed the shit out of them with carb cleaner and it slowly started to try and turn over. Then it finally started and ran fine after that

ensure that you are getting adequate gas to the carb and are getting adequate spark. when you pulled the plugs originally how did they look? were they gas soaked or full of carbon or white...?

Being I work from the begining I'll ask a question. Is the starter engaging the flywheel & rotating the motor? Or is the starter just whurling without engaging the flywheel? |
