[QUOTE="justindan55, post: 390143, member: 18226"] Hello all, I have been trying to resurrect an old motor that has been sitting for 5 years. I replaced the coils, fuel lines inside and out. Still won't start. Just cause I was worried I didn't do the coils right I sprayed a tiny bit of starter fluid and got one kinda detonation and smoke out the exhaust. I didn't try more because I am scared to run the motor without oil. So my thinking is a carburetor rebuild. Does this sound right? Anything else I'm missing? This motor used to run real strong and i really want it to run again so any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
