Need help.
I bought a new carburetor for my 1977 2.3L Bobcat (runabout). I'm not a mechanic but followed the directions, and now the car won't start.
It was running before I switch the carburetor, however, the old one was missing the choke rod and the choke was fully open. It was hard to start. Especially when cold.
When I initially switched it, it fired up but then died shortly after. Hasn't started since. I tried to adjust the airscrew a half turn at a time, nothing. Tried different youtube videos to help but ran the battery out before figuring it out.
Here is where I am,
- I removed the carburetor and followed instructions again to a T. (with new gasket/fuel filter)
- I charged up two batteries, just incase.
- Put airscrew at 2.5 turns from closed.
- Purchased starting fluid.
Before I try again, are there any tips for a novice mechanic?
Thanks,
