Guess the car: "It could be as easy as the ignition wire or something of that matter . could be a flush and fill on the radiator, because if it is empty the inline 6 rotary motors will not budge. Before I was able to still start it with a screw driver then that too eventually stopped. Honestly I am tired of messing with it and just want to sell it

I was able to pour gas into the top of the cylinder on my Tecumseh snowblower to get it running. Runs like a raped ape, too. Gonna try again this weekend when its in the 20’s, just to make sure its okay in the cold, too. Might snowblow some leaves just for fun.

Someday I might rebuild the carb. Meh.

This is confusing. So many things that don’t match up. I would vaguely guess an early Madza RX, a BMW, a Jeep, or something really weird/old (International Scout?).

“Inline 6” - Toyota.

“Rotary” - Mazda

“Could be the ignition wire” - Nissan.

.....okay I’m pretty sure its a Honda prelude with a GM 3800 swap.

Those carbs are very easy to rebuild.

people like this shouldn’t be allowed to work on their own cars.

just open it up and clean out the bowl, it’ll run fine. Mine had antifreeze in there when I got it (was actually still running)

Do raped apes actually run well? Or do they lie in a corner in a fetal position?

Rape one and let us all know, please. Mythbusters would not test it when I asked.

I might. Not sure what’s wrong with it, but I too suspect the bowl. It won’t fill when primed, it just leaks gas out the front of the carb. Once running though its great.... except it doesn’t take well to quick throttle adjustments. It likes to be nudged gently.

Yeah clean up the bowl it’ll run great is my guess.

either way if it was free on the side of the road and works at all it’s a win.
