I’m restoring a 1990 cabrio 1.8 clipper, it’s been off road Unknown amount of years
I have heard it run when bought 6 months ago - now won’t start.
I have spark, pulled the fuel pipe to carb and cranked, fuel comes out in spurts…
Is this normal? Or what should fuel flow look like? I assume there is an elec pump in tank?
I was expecting constant fuel pressure with ignition on…
Cheers

Also if left for years the fuel can go off making starting difficult. Try squirting a little new petrol straight into the carb after removing the airfilter/housing

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
