anyway first thing i would so is to check for a spark and whilst your doing that check compression aswel. if both of them are ok check for fuel. if all that is ok have fun :wink:

if its been standing and ppl have been trying to get it run you might need a new ignition modual witch makes the spark to the coil. apart from that spark plugs petrol oil and give it all a good clean. and make shure the brakes arnt stuck on!

erm. push start it!!


Me and my brother have been playing with a Opel Kaddett 1977.

Push starting that heavy bastard is a nightmare.
