Post by THICKNICK »

had the same thing happen to mine after getting extractors fitted, turns out they forgot to re-attach a vaccum hose to the mixer shutting it off.
maybe check these hoses for splits as well!!!

as far as i can tell its a sprint gas setup and is a carby.

now very wierd thing happened this arvo, have been driving around all week on petrol :x (as the gas just doesnt want to work) and hasnt missed a beat.

had a play around this arvo and one vacuum line was split at the end so trimmed it back and reattached, rechecked and placed all the hoses again and moved a few wires to make sure they weren't touching or earthing out.

now the car will not even start on petrol, but runs perfect again on gas

wtf

any help guys
