Wonderful site, first time poster. Got a puzzling problem since it is decades since I worked on a carb car. Shoulda held out for a LXi. It's my commuter.
Got weaker and weaker idle, till now it won't start. Pump throttel furiously, it sputters, tries to catch, the spits up thru the carb.
d/c'd fuel line to carb, aimed it into bucket. key on, no fuel flow. Crank motor, fuel pulses out strongly. simply leaving key on per manual, no fuel flow.
Manual says topull fuel cutoff relay, and put a jumper in slots 1&2. Problem is I can't find relay to really test the key on fuel flow.
It's my POS commuter box that I've become attached to, so I don't want to give up yet, nor spene a lot of coin.
I have looked at a lot of the carb helps on this great site. Probly missed the key one.
Thanks for any help.
