Around the shelby area? Make $$

Heres the situation. Im not the best mechanic ever, but Ive been trying to get this 86 gxl to start. From the way the previous owners spoke, it was flooding itself. In having it, the only thing Ive found out of place is brown liquid (oil?) on the rear 2 spark plugs. Ive tried every trick I could find on the 'net to get this thing to crank. Still nothing. There are no specific rotary shops here in the local area, so heres my proposition: Anyone from surrounding areas (gastonia, charlotte,hickory, forrest city, gaffney s.c., ect.) who thinks theyre good enough to make this thing crank, pm me, and we'll work something out. It could be the easiest hundred youve ever made..

I believe the EGI fuse is 15A. Definately wouldn't start with that blown.

Hes talking about different sets of fuses. The EGI is under the hood. I believe the fuses he was talking about are the ones in the cabin. Either way, both have been totaly replaced.
