From: Crash Lander on 25 Jul 2010 19:57 Hi guys. My 88 tarago RV 2.2L manual won't start. It's got good spark. It turns over as if it would start, but never fires. The RACV guy sprayed some carby primer stuff into the intake, and said if it was not getting fuel, it would at least fire on this stuff, and it didn't so he's ruled out a fuel issue as well. Any other suggestions? Ignition coil maybe? Aren't the coils in these things integrated into the distributor? Would the plugs still be getting spark if it was the coil? I'm a bit stumped on this one.

Maybe you're using the wrong > fuel. :P Yep, it was originally steam powered, but I had it converted. Even put some new fangled things called injectors on it. It's a flash one mate! Crash Lander |
