Currently has no spark, and I don't have the time or motivation to put any more money into this car. $2000 cash if someone gets it by the end of the month.

Have spark however the plugs are only putting out a light orange spark. Also, car feels like it wants to turn over now but only when I floor the throttle but it won't turn over.

So I fixed the open choke and the car started for a few weeks. Now I can't start it again. Battery is good, starter is good and butterfly choke is closed all the way.

The car currently just cranks strongly but won't turn over. I've tried stepping on the throttle 5-10 times to get a good amount of gas in but no luck.

This is a video of me trying to start my datsun while it is connected with jumper cables my other car with a good battery. It is still slow cranking and the jumper cables don't seem it help it at all. I left the cables attached for at least 10mins before I tried to start the car. http://tinypic.com/r/2vi0d2h/9

I removed the air cleaner and noticed that the choke wasn't closed all the way. I'll try to adjust it tomorrow when there's light out.

My car doesn't have points anymore. I switched over to a pertronix ignitor kit a year ago.

Do you think this is an issue with the choke and nothing else? It is seriously cranking sooooo slow. Side note is that it did start up alright about 3 weeks ago and I even took it for a 5 mile round trip with no issues. I just had to pump the gas pedal for a bit. The weather has gotten a little colder since then but I'm based in LA so it's never really that cold.

So I've been trying to sell my Datsun so it's kind of been sitting for a bit without being driven around. I decided to fire it up today to take it for a spin around the block but it wouldn't start. At first it was only just cranking and now it's cranking very very slowly. The starter is new and the battery is fairly new also. Do you guys think it's the ignition switch? I thought it might be a dead battery so I tried to jump start it but that didn't help either.

Also my lights do come on and the radio works also.
