Car: 1980 Toyota Corolla Wagon.
3tc w/ Dual Weber 40 Carbs.
MSD 6AL & Blaster 2 Coil.
When it sits for a few months. It'll crank and turn over. Let it run/idle for half an hour and let it sit. (My fault since I was busy with work and having a newborn.) This is probably the longest it's been sitting (4-5 months). Nothing's changed at all to anything. Tried cranking. Just keeps cranking and won't turn over. Sprayed starter fluid into the carb. It'll cough once or twice, but go back to cranking. Changed spark plugs since the old ones were black and smelt like fuel. Flooded w/ gas i'm guessing. Tried advancing the distributor for a quick kick, but same results. Any quick ideas/tips to check for?
