Now my car will not start.
First up: Engine cold or hot - hardly the plant. Carburetor changed to dual-chamber - the same thing.

Maybe the problem with the electrician?

In the evening, check whether there is "a spark."

Ok, so what are the symptoms ?
Does the starter run ? if yes, and got petrol coming in, you're right, check the spark plugs if there's spark.
If there isn't, have a look to the ignition distributor, and to the spark plugs cables.

good luck !

Sometimes the engine starts (from 10 attempts), sometimes not. If starts, it works well and does not turn off. So do not blame the wire.

Maybe you should see around the carburator, particularly the air screw.
By the way, if you changed the carburator by a dual chamber, wich model is it ? Does it have automatic starter ?

Model Solex (from Russia) without automatic starter. Delivered via an adapter. Put to test. Old carburetor cleaner (Weber), and will return to the place.

When your engine don't want to start, have you tried to take out a spark plug ? To know how it look (moist/dry, dark/white...)
This might be of some help to know where could the problem be.

Unconnect the coil and connect a spark plug directly to it. Then place the spark plug body to ground (a mechanical part of your car, for example). call a friend to try to start the engine. You should be able to see a light from it. If it is not so visible, your coil needs perhaps to be changed.

Another test: just put some gasoline in your carburator directly and try to start. If it works, trouble into the carburetor. Something is going wrong inside.

Good afternoon! I Have My "spark plug" - black.
Check "spark",Start start the car, a spark is.
And the most amazing machine Start start on three cylinders.
Stop the engine, put the "spark plug" back-will not start!
Again I Have My "spark plug" - again, the machine Start start on three cylinders!
What is it? Never is not met.
P.S. The exhaust system has recently changed.

Connect the not connected cylinder and disconnect another one, and do the test again: if it is not the same result as you got before, then you may have a trouble on this cylinder.

The same is done with the other cylinder, the result is the same. That is, from the cylinder it does not.
I think all still have to remove the muffler and check without it.

Sound quite weird... You're right, try without the muffler, seems to me you might have too much pressure somewhere ?

He took off his primary muffler, started the engine. Next, put it into place.
Weber carburetor disassembled, cleaned it, replaced the needle float chamber. Put in place, started the engine with no problems. Now everything is working fine.(тьфу-тьфу-тьфу)
Just repaired the "cold start system carb" has been torn membrane

thoub309, Merci pour votre aide.

you're welcome, even if I'm not sure I was of so much help.
Glad to see your engine's running again, and have no hesitation to ask for some more help if needed
