his sunroof is worse than myne.
i'm pretty sure they need a good oiling because they have been sitting for a few years.
myne goes up and down just has trouble moving back.
i still might take it apart and inspect it.

no man take it apart, as a kid I did lube/clean it but it just makes it worse till it jams, when it jams you'll be f'ing with it and it'll not want to go back at all, then you have to keep your cars top open or fix it

It was a pretty simple fix, little rocks and dust build up blocking it

ha yes thats a good idea, if you remember just clean it like a ****, sounds like you'd do that, my dad half assed it awhile back, its already stuck twice, luckly I was able to unstick it -_- (It would randomly rain around that time :X)

Yeah I had a pinhole leak in one of my original fuel lines. It took me a while to figure out where it was coming from, until I moved the line and it sprayed right at me

make sure you replace it with fuel injection hose not any other kind cuz it's rated for pressure in the lines

pics soon.
maybe video.
i started it again today.
it stopped gushing fuel.
but it smokes, a lot.
and the idle fluctuates between 1000 and 2000 rpm.
the fuel is really old(2 years) and i'm guessing that or maybe some kind of seal?

so far the culprit seems to be cause by a vaccum leak that was caused by a missing thermowax valve thing.
