I have put several thousand dollars in this car to make it safe and keep it running, however my mechanic IS was confused why the car still would not run. I found out that the defect in in the carb. And that the deceleration valve IS stuck closed. The cost will be to rebuild IS $425.00. I should have bought another car with what I have invested however by the time this defect was discovered I was already in so in debt to the car I can't turn back and don't have another $425.00 to put out.
