:mad: Owdo

Sold a chromie recently, on the day of the sale it would not start.
M10 engine with a brand new weber 32-34 dmtl carb
Eventually after lots fiddling (changed plugs they where really black and sooty) and turning over it started.
Once warm , no problems starting at all!

Sold the car, now the guy who I sold it to can't get it to fire up at all!.

Obviously its not really my problem anymore, but I am a straight guy / E30 fan and want to at least point him in the right direction to the problem.

Its an M10 engine with a brand new weber 32-34 dmtl carb fitted with manual choke.

New plugs / Dizzy cap (not changed the rotor arm)
From info I have been looking through fitting a bigger stronger coil for better spark, or an electric fuel pump as the mechanical pump aint good enough to fuel a weber is reccomended.

Or could it be something really simple. Any advice welcome

Cheers MaK :roll:
