I bought this car probably about a year ago with the intensions of pulling the engine out and sticking a yb in it but still haven't got round to it so going to just sell it as been offered a sunbeam which I'll cossy instead. Rite when I bought it the guy said he couldn't get it running and said he thought it was the fuel that had gone off but never even tried to get it going until the other day and it did seem like fuel so I pulled the pipe off the tank and it was stinking of what I can only describe as old duck oil and very yellow in colour, I drained it all out and changed the filter but it won't run I can get it to start and if I pump the throttle fast it runs and on first turn of the key it revs out then won't rev at all just splutters and pops with the throttle down. it looks like a new cap, rotor arm and recent plugs and leads that's on it. Just don't know where to go from here is it worth putting more petrol in it as just chucked a tenner in a can.
I woul appreciate any help if someone's had this before. Cheers.
