I need help please
I have a 1971 1.7 liter W code porsche motor that I can not get started. It has not run in about 2 years, but it was running fine when it was turned off. I have replaced points, condenser, plug wires, fuel pump. Checked the coil and comperssion. I have spark at the coil and pulled a spark plug to see if it sparked and it does. The compression is low (between 75-110 psi) but thought that was OK. It has duel carbs. I looked in the carbs when my son pushed the gas peddle. Gas is getting to the cards (watched it squirt in the carbs). Here is the strange thing. Last Friday it started for about 5 seconds, sounded good, and died. Hasn't started since. This is the first porsche/vw aircooled anything I have ever dealt with. I am a serious newbie to air cooled. I have rebuilt ford and chevy motors, and see no reason why this motor is not starting. Please help. Thank you very much.
