Technical / Re: Golf mk2 1991 1.6 Carb engine not running.
Okay guys I know that the engine is getting a decent flow of clean fuel as I've checked the fuel line going into the carb with a water bottle.

Ive put 10L of fresh fuel into the car.

Im unsure about the vacuum lines all the lines I have checked seem to be in good nick!

After leaving the car for about 2 days I then attempted to start it again as can be seen here.

From what I've reshearched this is an uncommon issue. And Im unsure of what is causing it.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know! :)

Hi Guys!

Just Brought a Golf Mk2 1991 Driver 1.6 Carb. It hasn't been on the road for 5 years, and I cannot get it started!

The Engine splutters for a few seconds but I can't ever get it to idle. I thought the Carb wasn't getting any fuel so I checked the lines but Fuel is entering the carb from the pump.

Here is a video of us turning it over https://youtu.be/Day5Rdp3pak

If anyone has any suggestions as to what it could be that would be helpful!
