There was air leaking from the bottom of the carby because it wasn't sealed properly

All working now thanks heaps for all the help!!

Alrighty sounds like a big job I'll get back to you on the results, thanks for all the help much appreciated ! :)

Yes have done the timing checked the points no oil in the water there is fuel spraying down the carb oil doesn't look like a milk shake I did make sure it was bolted down nice and tight and I spend a long time changing al the vacume hoses to make sure there were no leaks

nah points are all good still not running

its a recon engine so I'm faily sure it wouldnt be worn but ill double check thanks! :)

hi i recently bought a ke70 corolla with a reconditioned engine. when i bought the car it ran alright for a couple days then issues started to arise the car would start and run fine but when i got driving it would occasionally just die, it mainly died when i put my foot on the clutch to gear down or come to a complete stop. i would then either have to push start it or it would be nice sometimes and start straight up. for a while i drove with the choke just a tiny bit out, this helped and would prevent it from stalling when slowing down. i had fiddled with the idle speed and mixtures, and replaced solenoids but still nothing. one day when it died i became frustrated with the car and called road side assistance. the man came to the conclusion that the carby was faulty. i have a whole working parts car so all i simply did was take the old carby off and replaced it with the one off my parts car. i have correctly connected all the vacuum hoses, looked for air leaks but now the car is running worse it will not start easily but when it finally does it will only run if i keep my foot on the accelerator but once i let go it dies almost instantly i am becoming rather frustrated and would really like some help on the matter thankyou
