Its a long story.. hope i can remember it all..
ok after the cap episode it then got another relay system... and that didn't work... and then they decided because it had a new gas tank put on it mite be there...and sure enough.. a wire had been mickey moused to the fuel pump with electric tape.. they fixed that and voila working like a charm.. once in a while it will do it..but it's my fault...cause u see u have to push the clutch allllllllllllllllllllll the way to the floor before it will start.. and me being only 5 foot i sometimes don't get the clutch pushed in far enough.....and also sometimes i have to reef on the steering wheel...but it's starting...and running like a charm..Thanks for your interest..
