hey evryone, i am new to the rolla club and am jus gettin the drift of this so bear with me. i have a 1974 KE55 corolla and i have jus decided to fix it up, the prob is that when i try to start it, it is simply not starting. there is no carby gasket on it which i know prob don't help but that is not the problem. the engine was degreased a lil while back and the distributor was covered but i don't kno where else water could have got in to fuk it. Could it b to do with the carby? please help as i don't want and don't have the money to spend big on repairs!! :n:

mmmmmmmm, id be definatly putting that carby gasket in first! what gasket is it exactly? any thing missing a gasket to do with the carby=vaccum leak, you checked the points and checked to see if there is spark?

 

ps. 1974+ke55=no match.

Yeah, if its a 74 then its a KE20 or KE30

Get an air compressor and blow out any water that may be in the spark plug galleys and in the distributer/distributer cap. Also make sure no water has gone into the cylinders if you have no gasket on the carby..

lol thought i would stuff up somewhere. its the gasket that is between the carby and bottom bit if u get me? i don't really kno carby's very well. but I'm tryin 2 find a gasket for it.... well the small fuel chamber is on the bottom part and the top part has the float and the gasket is in between those 2 parts lol. i will try with the air compressor as that may help a fair bit. thanks fellas
