I just got done changing the spark plugs on my friends 86 honda. It runs a lot smoother, but that wasnt the problem. The car runs for a few seconds and than it dies. As soon as i take off my foot off the gas pedal, it dies. It is carbed and i don't have much experience with carbs. Does this sound like its not getting enough fuel? I checked the fuel filter, and there is plenty gas on both sides of the filter. I don't want to mess with tweaking the carb, cause its been never touched before.

This problem happened after the car has not been running for a week.
Thanks for any help

its possible that some H2O got in the gas from sitting. Maybe try some dry gas in there if you dont think there is a mechanical problem. ?vacuum leak

 

what do you mean by dry gas? you mean pouring gas directly through the air intake?
