Hey guys. Just picked up a jewel of an 88 Accord LX for the grand total of (drumroll please......) $100!
It's a pewter color with an almost perfect burgundy interior.
5 speed, with what looks like the original carb engine.
Surprised to find it already had a Weber.
The car will start and run if I spray the carb and stay on the gas a little. The second you let off it dies.
AC is disabled, as is PS. Other than that everything else works like it should. Gonna post pics as soon as I figure out how.

Look forward to all the help I am sure I will ask for!

did you get this from copart??? i saw an auction of something very similar that ended yesterday.

My carbed 87lx (with weber) was doing that and it was a head gasket/warped head. I assume little to no vaccuum lines, but check all that..... good find regardless, b20 swap!

[mcdaniel1138]

Yeah no b20 swap. Not a fan. Don't ask why...just not.
Head gasket is good. Oil and water both look the way they should.

And no...no auction. Someone was just selling the car for cheap.

If anyone can help, I need to know where the vac line for the dizzy hooks up to the Weber...right now someone has it running to the Egr and that's it.
