Starting probs
Can any of you engine boffins help.
I've got a spark at the plug, fuel is getting through and the engine will fire for a nanosecond if idle is set as high as possible.
What could the problem be?

RE: Starting probs
thanks for the suggestions.
there were a few air bubbles in the fuel tube, i'll try again after replacing the tube.
carb was stripped and cleaned last week after the car went for a swim in a ditch....... been running fine since though, until today.
choke on or off i get the same problem.
thanks again

RE: Starting probs
Try replacing the plug. You may well have a spark when it is out of the engine, but it is not unusual for a plug to break down under load. go for the easy things first.
