starting trouble-webber

[speedycoolboy]

I've tried to start my car yesterday, and i couldn't, thinking it was flooded i left it overnight.
I then tried to start again today, no result. took out plugs gave them a clean, as with the rotor as dizzy cap. still no start
So i called RAC, they basically did the same, except they checked it was sparking(it is strong), and in the right order (which it was), and it was getting fuel right upto the carb.
They also made sure it wasnt flooded.
It was getting fuel to the cylinder tho, and the plugs smelt of fuel.
He was stumped so he left.
It was last started 4 days ago and it started perfectly, since then all i have done is remove the negative lead to check current drain (and removed fuses one by one, and made sure they are in after)



It is a 1.6 webber carb (EZ)



Any Ideas?


Thanks

im guessing its a manual choke? i had an issue where the choke cable was slipping out of its bracket so needed adjustng - check that. also ive had issues with vacume hoses coming loose aswell. tried carb cleaner? my webbers been super reliable and have never had an issue, had it nearly 3 years now.

Thanks for your reply, its all fixed now.
It wasn't the carburettor, as it turns out it was flooded, just the RAC didn't sort out the flooding problem properly.

and yeh its manual choke, and tbh i think i need a new choke cable, the current one is really stiff and it doesn't actually lock, i think whats happened is that its been locked then tried to be adjusted so it's been buggered up.

Thanks
