Hello everyone, I hope you can guide me a little. I have a Nissan Sentra 85 E16 car carburado (of the old men). I went without gasoline and now that I already threw it and I want to start the starter engine, it works well, the cables, coil, distributor, spark plugs, all good. The carburetor drowns but I think it's about trying to tear it up until I stay without pile. I already tried to throw a little in the carburetor but it does not start or so. It seems strange to me because it is not a car too complicated, it has no major electronic components, or computer. The truth is already fed up and I do not want to pay a money in mechanic for a car that despite being very good because it is not worth it. Could you advise me in this case? Thank you

If everything is fine and it is not Is it to tear it with fuel in the carburetor from a start It starts any second, it is a spark problem, but I think you would not have a problem with direct carburetor fuel, provided that your battery has enough load.

Thanks for your help. I tell you that I already checked all the cables (that of the coil to the distributor and the 4 of the spark plugs) all have a spark, the rotor rotates, the engine turns but does not even seem to start, the spark plugs are NGK BRK5ES new (which the manufacturer recommends). By throwing gasoline in the carburetor, even a second. When taking out a spark plug to check, it is wet from gasoline, that is, it does not burn it. I don't know what else could it be. I would appreciate your comments.

Let's see when the spark plugs come wet is a sign that the carburetor sends too much fuel, or that they have no spark, but you tell me that spark exists, now if you have a startel, you have to throw it before making the vehicle walk, if you have start with benzine in the carburetor what it can happen is that the needle is stuck or the float None of the carburetor screws, what you have to do if you can not disarm the carburetor is to hit it, fill with fuel and make it start, pumping the accelerator pedal and then leave it stepped on, do not leave immediately so you have to try sometimes, see that the electronic chicler is connected, and in good condition. But the problem is only carburetor, did you check that the pump throws combustble?

Well, see that I tried the pump disconnecting the hose that goes to the carburetor and when you turn the engine pulls a jet of gasoline with enough pressure (I did not measure it, but it seems to be enough). The carburetor is one of the type of double body, progressive. A question in the back has a screw that stands out with a spring is that of the mixture? I do not encourage my carburetor, but I will give him a couple of blows to see if he loosen the cap I think he has. Another thing I only threw a gallon of gasoline to do these tests, do you think that if I give more quantity the fuel to uncover some dirt locked or is this amount enough? Will it start pushed?
