Just to toss out there, the car runs perfectly! The last time I started it was a month ago. If it helps, the car was hit on the rear, which has the rear fender pushed onto the tire. So for that reason, it's not been driven. I have however, started it once or twice a month just to keep things in working order. Today, I beat the dent out with a hammer :-P

Well, the last time I moved it, was a month ago. This time, I go to start it, and it won't start. Only turns (it is on the verge of starting). I thought a couple of times it was actually going to start, but it didint.

Again, I know for a fact the engine is fine. I know it's just bad gas, as it's been sitting for months. I am under the impression gas has about 20 days before it gets weird. This has been well over that period. Its been a little over 6 months. In fact, I am surprised it even started the last few months.

Anyways, what I need to know, is how to prime it? Generally, on other cars, when I run out of gas, I pour gas into carburetor/throttle body (as sometimes, you can kill your battery before it gets from tank to engine).

So I attempted to do this with starting fluid in hopes that once on, it stays on (Maybe this time, I can waste the gas in it or put some water treatment or what ever has to be done). I don't see that I have access to throttle body without unbolting things that I'm not used to unbolting. Generally I remove the air breather or something, and it's there. On this car, when the air breather is removed, the entrance into the throttle body is sealed by a wall, and simply has a hole in it. This isolates me from where I need to be. (not to mention its rotated 90° so its facing sideways). If a picture would help, I would be glad to up one.

Can anyone give me some sort of advice for starting this thing without dropping the tank and putting new gas in it ?


I even thought about removing plugs and spraying a tad bit of starting fluid in there, but it might dry before I get it all back together ? I'm desperate here, can someone please help me.
