Up in smoke is an unknown quantity at this point
1983 Civic 1500dx question

Considering buying one of these that's still in pretty good shape, seller claims it runs ruff due to old fuel, when I ran it it seams to want to fall on it's face as if starving for fuel, are there common fuel/carb issues to look for first on these?, also does this year Civic have a check engine light/ecm?

How much fuel are we talking about?


If it's a small amount you could bring two Jerry cans. Jump the battery. Disconnect the fuel line, pump it into a can, then replace the fuel with fresh fuel; to test things out.

You'll probably need a small can to catch the fuel out of the line, or extra housing.
