Starting issue

638 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  vigman
My car was running fine. Then we had some very cold weather for two days that were below 20 degrees. About two days after the freeze I went to start it up. It turned on but just barely. I noticed I was low on gas so I went to the gas station. After putting gas in her she started up, drove about 10 yds and then died. Tried starting it some more and wouldn't start. Gas coming out of rear carburetor. Has been sitting for days and still no starting. What gives?

Nobody??
Sounds like the rear float on the carb is stuck open. Light tapping on the cover to start with. If that dosen't work take it apart to clean the needle and seat.

You might also check to see if you have water in the fuel tank. Sub-freezing weather and an almost empty tank, possibly a lot of condensation in the tank.
It was the spark plugs.
The plugs wouldn't answer the fuel coming out the back carb issue....
Which is dangerous!
