[otrafxp]

Hi

I have a problem with my M-43 it will not start.
I have just rebuilt the carburator, and fuel lines. The carb is getting fuel and there are spark on the plugs, but it dosent want to fire up and start.
it just fires some times but not starting. it hasn't been started since last summer.
Does anybody have some good ides or tips what i can do ?

Hasn't run in a while? First thing to check is the fuel - make sure that you have fresh gasoline.

Fuel filter clogged?

Check ignition timing?

Check/replace condenser?

good luck!

Make sure your plugs are connected to the distributor in the right order as well...this was happening to my truck, turns out they were all messed up...and thats how I bought it!
