Car stops running

Hi Multy,

I would not think you have an electrical issue but you can check your spark output by just removing all of your spark plugs connect them one at a time to the spark plug wire. Then one at a time grasp the plug wire when it connects to the actual spark plug then touch it to the engine block and crank the engine. With all the plugs removed from the engine it will not start. Please see the attached picture of a spark plug and make sure you are not touching the electrode at the bottom where the spark takes place. When you crank the engine you will see the plug firing. This will confirm you have spark so repeat this for each cylinder.

Once you confirm you have spark at each cylinder, I would suggest you fully clean the carburetor. This means remove it and dissemble the main components and remove any gaskets or rubber o-rings then soak it overnight in a carburetor cleaner. You can go to most any parts store and get a bucket that has the chemical in it. It looks like a paint can in most regions.

My thought is, the carburetor has build up in it and blowing it out did not fully clean it. This cleaner will dissolve any thing that is built up in the carburetor and will ensure you are delivering fuel when needed. The fact that it stalled after you were having fuel issues, it is unlikely that you now have an electrical issue. Also, the fact that it ran better after you blew it out but stalled again shows that you were addressing the issue but just did not get it clean enough.
