Hello
Today I took the car for the second day out ( after she didn't dirve for approx three years). Yesterday during the first drive of approx 20 miles all went well. ( Car was for 4 years not on the road)
This morning i made another ride for approx 20 miles as well. This ride went without problems. After a stop of one hour I decided to take another short ride. The car started well but after a quarter mile just making a turn the engine stopped.( when i openend the bonnet I noticed, that you could clearly see the vapours coming out the carberettor area closest to the firewall) . Tried to start her again and again initially without success. As when the car turned on It was only for a second or two. I was just thinking to phone home, if the car wouldn't start during this last attempt to have the car towed home.
With this last attempt when turning on the ignition the fuel pump was ticking 4/5 times longers than usual but in the end the car started and drove without problems ( No idea what other problems will follow )
Are there any ideas, what it could have been and how to solve this when it will happen again
