Saab Sonett 3 Restoration Part 8: It still won't start

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day great video mate

[@2002dude]

keep after it. have you checked for spark?

[@Ludicrous_Speedway]

I'm like 90% sure there was spark. This footage was from 3 months ago so ya know. I don’t have to worry about it for a while cuz this car is getting completely torn down.

Engine work FTW

I hope you bought a repair manual after this. The points and condensor replacement as well the carburetor being rebuilt after sitting so long would have been the place to start.

[@Ludicrous_Speedway]

I decided to just rebuild the whole car instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@dwightfisher4225]

Yes that is the best option. The manual gives all the specs you need and RockAuto has a lot of parts for the engine, breaks etc.

[@Ludicrous_Speedway]

I have a manual, the recent community post should indicate how far I've taken it.

Yes, just check for spark. If a car doesn't start, it's fuel or electrical. Spraying starter fluid into carb should make it start UNLESS there is no spark. That mineral deposit in the coolant system certainly should be removed BUT it's not stopping the car from starting. get a shop vac and suck that out and then remove all hoses and flush the coolant system out. Go back to basics, check for spark!!' You take too much apart that doesn't need to be taken apart. Do the basics.
