: Check spark plugs,ignition wires, coil,cap & rotor, Make sure choke is open, Fuel filter may be clogged, You need 3 things to make an engine run; Air, Fuea, and Spark...if one is missing, the motor won't start...Old gasoline could be a problem too... :
Righty, well, the car was completly empty... (I checked the gauge) so they guy put a fresh can of gas in to it... the oil was black but full (I checked that too!) he got a sprk... (forgot how but I saw him test it)I agree, the feul filter might be clogged.... I think part of the guys problem was that I made the odd suggestion based on what happened when I got Alice (same situation... sat for two years, cranked over but wouldn't start)
I don't think he liked a GIRL telling him what could be wrong... Hell it wasn't as if I was hovering over him... I waited 5 minutes before I suggested that the geas tank might be empty....
