Leeco Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I have recently acquired a 1979 brat in need of several parts inluding tail lights, front parking light lens etc. unfortunatly I must also deal with a good amount of rust. My immediate problem is that the engine will not start without spraying "engine starter in the carb and then it will only idle. when I push th gas pedal it dies. help?

Sweet82 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Welcome to the board! Have you tried several gallons of carb cleaner? I'd think about getting some fresh gas and fuel filters too..... Has the Brat been sitting a while? What is the history of this Brat? Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester The brat had been sitting for 4 years/changed gas and filter/ blew air thru feed line from filter to tank/ used carb cleaner and now it at least starts and runs with hesitation on acceleration/ now the plugs etc. thanks for the reply.
