I am having a problem getting my BJ8 to start. It has been sitting for a few
months while I replaced the starter with a gear reduction type starter and did
some work on the cooling system.
The car will crank, there is spark at the plugs, and there is fuel in the
carburetor bowls. I sprayed starting fluid into the rear carb with the aid of a
short section of hose and it tried to run but I could not get it to start after
spraying more starter fluid. My theory was that if the engine ran for however
long with starter fluid it meant that there is a problem with the carburetors.
What part of the carburetor could be causing the no start condition? Fuel is
getting to the fuel bowls, the fuel bowls are full, I checked that the Gross
Jet float valve were not stuck. What am I missing in this diagnostic process?
Thanks
Jorge Garcia
