Just picked up a rusty ol kpb310 with a15 and 60a 5 speed for $230 yesterday.
Trying to get the a15 started.
Been sitting for about a year.
Checked oil
Checked battery
New dizzy cap
New coil
spark plugs are good
Has fuel

Turns over fast so good bat.
Spark plug sparks when put onto side of block
fuel in the bowl window of standard carb. Maybe a tad over the middle dot/mark

BUT she wont start. Usually wouldnt need help for something simple like this but feel the need to discuss the matter.
Possible flooding? maybe needle/seat not sealing properly?
Anyone have any thoughts?

congrats 1000 posts!

Timing? no compression? sorry I really dont have a clue just wantyed to say congrats on the 1000

hahaha now thats a real measurement of how much time i actually spend on this website. its quite astonishing. Im truely addicted.

I will check the timing and im pretty sure shes got compression.

Thanks for the congrats

you lucky SOB! I want a $240 A15 5spd sunny!


Is it even trying to start? Does the anti dieseling solinoid thing have power? Could be timing. Have you tried start ya bastard yet?

congrats. ... sounds like that early start defiiitely paid off !!!
............. no idea why it wouldn;t start either

Yea im stoked. I did drive 800kms in a round trip to pick her up ina day however. They do come around every so often though.

Its just turning over and not doing anything.
I'll try start ya bastard but i dont think its going to help (feeling in the gut).
Dont have a multi meter to check solinoid unfortunately. I found the amp limit to it and it past away

check the points gap. use a .40mm feeler gauge. If the spark is weak it wont fire easy. also find out if the car was driving before it was parked. If it was running. There shouldnt be to much wrong.
Good luck

i was told that it was running before it was parked up but thats just words i guess.
gaps on the list of things to check
