engine won't run
I have a Weber 2 barrel downdraft. The engine ran good and will not start now. It will fire for a couple seconds with starter fluid and that's it. I have checked every thing with the ignition system and feel confident that is all well. Fuel pumps into the manifold when pumping gas pedal but will not fire without the starter fluid. Any ideas where to go now? I am tempted to swap the induction system, manifold and stock carb from another running car to troubleshoot - Big Job!

Re: engine won't run
If all you are saying is accurate the only thing I could surmise is bad gas.

Re: engine won't run
A guess, would a weak spark only run with starter fluid? My dad and I worked at starting a car one winter, blew the muffler, it coughed back through the carburetor setting dads hair on fire! Dad had it towed to a shop and they did a tune up, plugs, points, rotor.
