Hi Friends.
It’s been a while! My trusty A4 has just been chugging along. Then the water jacket developed a hole. After a simple patch job with JB Weld it started to leak a lot more! So we replace the water jacket. All went well but now the engine will not start!
The engine would turn over. Start for half a second and then die. I thought this was a fuel delivery issue. So I started to troubleshoot. I replace fuel filters. Made sure the fuel pump was working well. And then cleaned the carb. Now the engine won’t start at all! It seems like there is still a fuel delivery issue but no spark or no fuel to spark?
To make matters worse now the carburetor is just leaking gas every where! I was thinking maybe his must be related to a float issue? But even with gas leaking the engine didn’t turn over or spark. Any ideas? I feel like I am battling I few issues at once.
