Howdy, I have a 1991 Mitsubishi U42t that won’t start. it’ll turn over until the battery dies, or forever on a charger. So far: Oil change and new filter, Plugs cleaned, New fuel filter, fuel is moving through the lines before and after the carb New air filter No blown fuses All the wires I can see on the coil are good I’ve got the English version manual As y’all know, it’s more a how than why Manual. I’m stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
It’s sparking. More orange than blue. funny thing is, when it first died, I shook the car in frustration and it started, Turned it off, changed the oil, and it started again and ran till I got to work. then would start at the end of the day.
I know many here would shake their heads at this, but maybe try spraying a bit of starting fluid down the carb while your cranking it. - - If it starts, then you know you have a fuel problem. If not - it's ignition.
Ok. I’m still learning this system, My carburetor experience is from a Ford 351w. Is it just pull the rubber boot coming from the air filter and spray the choke flap, Or is there a better method?
No worries, I appreciate the help. Like I said, I’m stumped. did the thing with the spray can Got some mist out the port above the carb Some fuel in the mist too. No start. Air filter boot back on and checked the plugs. Still sparking orangey Carbon buildup on the plugs since I last wire brushed them with gum out. Did the grandpa trick and sprayed a little starter fluid down plug 1 before turning it over again. nothing.
Ok. Now I’m looking for a good source for parts. Specifically the ignition coil. Yokohama motors is about $170 plus shipping. there’s gotta be something closer and less expensive.
