dizzy springs

Probably nothing wrong with the current springs. Centrifical force takes up that loosness the moment you start the car.

as usual, I think Keith is exactly correct.
Keith, can you help us pin-down his no-start?

I'm scratching my head wondering if he's got a choke? flooding it? I think you are better at chasing this stuff than I am, 'cuz you do it all day.

Yeah, after a more thorough cleaning, the springs are able to return everything all the way back now.

As for the no-start, I was able to get the car to fire briefly by working the accelerator cable at the carb (a lot), so I've got a carb kit on the way, and I'll check the fuel pump today if I get a chance. There is a screen back there, right? Is that in addition to a screen in the tank?

At any rate, I have a clear fuel filter which fills with gas, and gas pumps out of the hose ok when I disconnect it. Gas squirts down the carb when I pull the cable and the idle solenoid is ok. So maybe it's just not enough gas.

my dizzy has holes in the bottom
carb cleaner then lubracate

My dizzy also has holes. Are those to aid in dis-assembly or for draining cleaner/water?

its so theres no condisasion build up.

Makes sense.
