the engine turns over but does not fire,
the battery/started/spark plugs etc. are all doing their jobs,
I believe the problem is a lack of fuel in the carby when starting,
I've found removing the top of the carburettor and adding a small amount of petrol (a little more than a coke cap full) allows me to start the engine and its runs as per usual when driving.
if anyone has any advice for me on what to do please let me know! the starting ritual of my car has almost gotten the better of me hah.
further problems:
indicators fail to work about 30% of the time,
and my left-side headlight does not turn on unless i have high beams on (then all four front lights work)
any help would be great,
thanks guys
