'85 12A not starting
Yeehawww! My first tech question on a new to me forum.
I replaced both clutch cylinders, everything went back together fine, bled the clutch, great pedal, now the car won't start.
Car has spark and fuel, full charge on battery, cranks well, I've double checked for something that I may have disconnected and can't find anything.
The car is all stock with no mods and was starting prior to clutch cylinders being replaced. It is a daily driver and cold starting fine prior to this. It does have a hot start problem that I'm working on sussing out.
Any thoughts of what I should look for that I may have missed?
TIA

Did you remove or bump something during the installation?
Is it flooded? If flooded, it will turn over very quickly but sound kinda funny. Exhaust will smell like raw gas. If so, dump a couple ounces of Seafoam down the carb then try again.

I double checked everything and then took the plugs out to clear out the possibility of the engine being flooded. I hadn't realized how easy this engine can flood. Put the plugs back in and with multiple tries of compression starting the motor finally turned over.
thanks,
