ive been havin problems gettin my truck to start, ive recently fitted a su carb and now for some reason when ive come to start it up ive got no spark

ive checked wires are connected but not sure what it could be, do these have any sort of ecu of any kind and where would it be located, its got a clifford alarm on it but never had a fob since i brought it so think thats inactive

did your SJ originally have single point injection? if so there will be an ecu.

No spark at the plugs?

trace it back through the leads, distributer cap, rotor arm, ht lead ,coil etc till you find where the spark starts/stops

Can you upload a pic of that side of the carb?
Most of the time the SUs have 3 pipes on the fuel intake side.

1. Fuel in
2. Fuel overflow
3. Breather (should be blocked)

There are some SUs though that have more pipes than that!

thats the carb im tryin to use at the top of the page

its coming out the 2 pipe inline with each other the over flow n one blow it, could the float be stuck do u think causing this?

****PROBLEM SOLVED**** there was no float needle in the carb plus its a hif38 bought a hif44 now to replace it with!
