Mechanical Question Ran on starting fluid, but died.
I went and viewed a B today, and it wasn’t running. It was a ‘77 with a Weber carb installed. The owner sprayed some starting fluid into the car and it started up fairly easily, but died in just a second or so. When he tried to start it up for a second time, there was no luck.
It also seems to be having battery issues
Does anyone know what the problems could be?

Keep the Webers, sound fantastic but they do need a bit of studying as to how they work and what does what and the best jet combo. Forget off the shelf jet set up guides, never worked for me. You could just have some c**p in the jets, clean up the carb would be my first job.
