Too much to do...
My engine won't stay running for longer than 3 seconds. I jammed on the brakes pretty hard, right before hitting the clutch, which is the root of this trouble, so it won't idle very well and won't do anything ABOVE idle. I rebuilt the carburetor, but need to set the idle speed, and rebuilt the dizzy. I can't take a timing light to it because it won't run long enough to do so, and I can't figure out why it would do that after a hard brake? I have been over every inch of that engine bay looking for loose hoses, etc., but can't find any. Am I going to have to bite the bullet and *gulp* overhaul it to fix the gremlin, or is there an easier (and less expensive) option?
P.S. How hard and time consuming is rebuilding the engine yourself, versus having somebody do it for you?
Thanks, I really need this help to get her running again before tempers flare and a 5 lb. pickaxe goes to town.
