Did u gas it up? Gas after a year probably no good. Check to c if getting gas. Change fuel filter. At least start ther. A year sitting plays havoc with a car
It was on empty. We put $20 in it and it ran great all day while test driving it and going to parts stores etc. My son drive it home about 12 miles away on the highway. In the driveway it died and wouldnt restart. He banged on the fuel pump and filter and after 2 tries it started. . thinking possible gunk from bottom of tank got up in the pump and he knocked it loose. Ill have him get some dry gas. Great idea. Thank you. Any other ideas would be awesome
Thank you Jim. Ill definitely do that. You are AWESOME. Thank you again
