Toyota 4fg25

Toyota 4fg25 - gas engine will not start. Have spark but spark is weak. Carburator runs rich. Put new kit in carburator excluding new float, but still runs rich. Replaced plugs, wires, rotor and coil but no help. Any suggestions would be great. Manufacturered June, 1983.

I am with Huckleberry, We have seen bad points, rotor, cap, Condenser (on the side of the dist) and wires. For the price I would put a copmlete ignition kit in. If you suspect a bad spark??

Spark should jump a minimum of 1/4 inch and be bright blue. If spark is yellow or orangem or won't jump that distance, spark plug fouling will result, along with drivability issues under load. Again- where did the parts come from for the tune up & what brand were they?

When holding plug wire to ground we do not see the big spark or big pop you see on other engines. Feeel carburator is running rich in that plugs foul quickly and by observing amount of gas entering carburator.

Describe what you mean by weak spark- weak spark can give the symptoms of a rich carb. Where did you get the tune up parts you put in?
