Hello everyone, I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
First off, yes, I have used the search function, and no, I haven't found an answer for this question.
Alright: I bought an '84 Civic 1.3L with a manual trans off of craigslist for a steal.
The only catch was that it was sitting for six months and didn't run. It cranked, but didn't run.
I drained the fuel tank and put in fresh gas (87 octane), changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter, and thought everything was dandy.
I replaced the pickup coil, and she fired right up, idled fine during the warm up, and revved fine.
Well I finally let her run for a couple minutes in preperation of a maiden voyage, and when she tried to drop down to idle, she got slower, and slower, chugged a bit, and got slooooower, and then she stalled out.
I tried to start her again, and she reallt didn't want to start. I sprayed some starter fluid in there and she started up but ran like crap but if I revved, she ran fine.
After she stalls, she's very difficult to start, and cranks for a long time.
I took the air filter housing off and had my brother in law look at the fuel window on the side of the carb, and I held it at arund 1,500RPM. After about a minute he said fuel just disappeared from the window, and then she died, even under load.
Does anybody have an idea as to what the heck could be wrong here? I'm at wits end now...
I can take video if y'all want as well.
Thanks in advance!
