Several decades ago we had a gasollne Datsun and when it conked out at Carebi I had the chance to call a mechanic around, a Concrete Aggregates specializing in Volvo machinery who obliged to repair the old Datsun car.

When a gasoline engine conks out there are two possible sources: fuel line and electrical
1, For fuel
1. Is there fuel in the tank
2. Is the fuel of good quality (like its not stale, no water or dirt, other contaminants?
3. Are the fuel filters: inline or main filters functional (they could be blocked) allowing fuel to pass through?

2. is the coil functional?
3. Is the breaker working?
