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

Petrol engines will be just as reliable as a diesel is properly serviced and looked after I use mine Mk1 as a daily drive and cover 50 miles a day when commuting to work and the engine covered 270,000 miles with nothing major going wrong with it.
Start with the basics, give it a good service, spark plugs, HT leads, dissy cap, rotor arm, fuel filter, air filter.
Check your fuel filler neck and look inside the fuel tank for rust, clean out the carb and check the flange which the carb sits on.
Do you know which carb is fitted? Webber or the original carb?
Petrol engine also only need 3 things to work, air, petrol and a spark…
