Hi all,
I just bought a datsun 1979 sunny sedan and as far as i know this model is also known as a 1200. Im using the car as a paddock basher and it was running fine up until I replaced the carby on it as the other one was cracked. The new carby works but the idle was reving high. I have also had trouble with batteries as i hit a stump and the battery was flung lose and was sliced open by the fan. The battery still worked but leaked and did'nt hold its charge unless the car was running. The car was left for about a week without being touched and now when i try to start it with a new battery it turns over but it doesnt seem to be firing.

could someone please give me some assistance with my problem

thanks
