My 1995 Siverado 1500 4x4 wont start. It hasn't run in 2 yrs. I put new fuel, fuel filter, cleaned the lines and took the carb apart and cleaned it. New battery. It'll start with a bit of gas in the carb, but dies shortly after. There is gas getting from the line to the carb, but not sure if its getting through the injectors. Not sure what to try next.

Hi Baltazar:
Have you tried to start it?
It wouldn't hurt to give it a SMALL prime. Remove the air filter and put a thimble or 2 (NO MORE) into the carb ant then try to start it. Sometimes they just need a bit of encouragement.
After sitting for 2 years the gas in the carb, fuel fump, and tank may have gelled, so there is a possibility that you will have some cleaning and flushing to do.
Work patiently, and stay safe.

if your carb is a tbi (throttle body injector) then the carb is clogged

try the temp sensor by the thermostat housing,make sure its not broken when you unplug it,ohm sensor itself when warmed up,and when cold

Sounds like a stuck or defective float.(perhaps a hole in it). Also check the needle valve for operation and if its installed correctly. That is connected to the float

first thing to check is for fuel supply to the carb, it may be just a filter, worse off is you may have to rebuild the carb

Uncouple the fuel line coming from the pump at the carburetor, place a clean can under the line, and have someone operate the starter--you should have fuel shoot from the line in spurts as the engine turns. If it does, then the entry port on the carburetor is plugged. Remove the float assembly and pull out the float needle valve. Hook the fuel line back to the carburetor and try the starter again, there should be fuel pumping into the float bowl. If not, check to see if there is a filter on the fuel inlet path that may be plugged. If no filter, remove the float needle seat to see if something is blocking the fuel passage. If all else fails, use compressed air to blow backwards through the needle seat (remove the fuel line again). Hope some of this helps!

hello, usually when gas sets in carb for a long time it turns into a varnish, you will have to take carb apart and clean all jets out, even the fuel pump may be clogged up, you will probably have to rebuild carb, unless you have access to air line to blow any and all jets, pretty much all passage ways, power jets, in other words you have a carb problem, you may need a new one, unless you have a strong solvent, that will break away any varnish or gum up.

I could help you if I knew what you were asking. what IS the COMPLAINT???

check the distribor cap and rotor buttom, sounds like a cracked cap, hope to help

If it sat for two years, you probably have varnish and gum buildup in the carb. You'll need to take the bowl off the carb and clean it with carb cleaner. You'll also need to spray the cleaner around the linkages and the jets inside. Be very careful taking apart the carb so you don't lose the float needle.
