Guest FrantiC Report post Posted February 23, 2009 Timming. Check the dizzy is timed. What exactly have you done to it? Any changes, Was it running then you changed something and it stopped? Or left it for a while? Bought it as a no runner? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sid_nz 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 have got it running now. it was parked on the grass and after moving it into the garage and trying to get it going discovered large puddle of fuel under right rear tyre. turns out theres a little round hollow bit after the fuel pump with 2 black hoses on it leading from the fuel pump and into a hard fuel line up to the engine. After trying to salvage the part and the lines of my parts car discovered that the 87 has a different fuel line to the 85 so that didint work. anyone had this problem before? there dosent seem to be any gas leaking above the part but at the same time no obvious holes or cracks in the little metal round thing (i assume is some kind of sediment collector or somthing) help would be apreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
