Starting for the first time in 10 years!
Good morning, I normally hang out in the early V8 forum, but look here time to time... I have recently started working on a 1930 Coupe that my grandfather owned, it has been sitting for a little over 10 years since it ran. It did run great when it was put away. I have gone through all the normal things to start her back up: changed fluids, spark plugs, checked timing (it has spark), drained gas/filled with new and replaced the shut off valve, it has a marvel schebler carb, took that off and cleaned it all out. Now, it will start up on full choke but only runs for a couple of seconds then dies... it almost acts like its not getting enough fuel.
My question: is there anything special that I need to be doing with this carb to set it up?? I have messed with the GAV and opened it up more which seemed to help at first. I have had a hard time getting information on this model carb.
Also, is it possible that its dying because it is losing spark?
