Okay after I changed those parts in the dizzy, put the stock coil back and put in new NGK plugs....my car was working fine and I was driving it everywhere with no problems for a couple of days. So...this morning I took it to work....still no problems but when I got off work I started it....it ran for a couple seconds and then died. I tried starting it again but it just kept turning over. I waited for a couple of minutes...started it again....it ran for a couple seconds and then died. I Thought it was not getting fuel and checked the see-through fuel filter in the engine and it was full. I took off the airbox and looked at the fuel bowl window and it looked empty (or full) cuz I couldn't see the level of fuel which is usually in the middle of the window. I dont think its electrical. I think its not getting fuel inside the bowl or something. I changed the pump already so I know its not that. Is there any vacuum lines or carb parts that is associated with the fuel delivery that I can check? PLEASE HELP!!!...MY CAR IS STUCK AT WORK.......AGAIN :burn: :burn:

OMG... dude you need my weber. or that carb rebuild...

anyways the fuel could just be stuck in the filter and makes it look like the pump is working... but it could be too weak still... I really don't know... if the carb is flooded it's probably a lower O-ring... it could empty if the float is stuck.

Okay how much for the weber again....and you would put it on right?? If so then I'll go borrow some cash right now!!!!! The rebuild kit is $50 anyway... so I would probaly be better off getting your weber.

borrow, thats no good... :(
I had someone lined up to by the adapter... so I'm gonna have to tell him the bad hews if you decide to get it....
the weber will run rich... but hopefully I can get it to run more stoich by changing the float level a bit.
you can always try the vacuum removal... since to get the weber on we need to go down that path anyways.

In any case I have what I need to do the install... if you want... when can you come over? I'm busy all thursday... but not today.

Hold that thought in my previous post......I'm going to NAPA today and buy the carb rebuild kit and rebuild my carb today even if it takes all day and night and then if it is still messing up then I WILL buy your weber.....I have no options at this moment and my 3-gee is in critical condition, and needs major surgery. :help: :help: :ugh: :sad2:
