Looks like he got it running on starter fluid but needs carb tuning. "Needs gone", NMNA

Good thing I don't still live in Northern Virginia.

Trouble with the carb on an 80s Honda, you say?

Huh. 
 

In reply to P3PPY :

I had an '84 Prelude, so I'm familiar with that, lol.  If this were my car, I'd swap to a newer engine.  But I've got enough cars to maintain right now.

That looks made up. Make believe. A farce. 

Not a farce, called an analog pneumatic computer.  It was very common on cars of that era.

You're right. It DOES look make believe. Sadly, it's the real deal. I remember working on my brothers 80-something Honda. I think every time you look at that diagram, another vacuum hose cracks.

I had the si version of the car. I thnk it had fuel injection.

Nope it's real. If I remember nothing is marked either. At least not in English.

Yup, that's what Si indicated back in those days.

From the cover shot, that looks to be in pretty good shape. Can't view the ad - no FB allowed on our network. Every one of these for sale seems to be halfway through an engine swap, so this one's not any different :)

So glad it's not a Si. I'd be so tempted.

The car has a Weber 32/36 which is the traditional method to eliminate the vacuum hoses. That's the method used on ITB and ITC cars of that era.

I might still have my 86 if I'd known about that twenty years ago. 

In reply to Rons :

Yeah a 32/36 swap is the cheap and easy solution. I had an 88 accord with a similar rats nest. It had carb problems that made it nearly undrivable. I swapped in a 32/36 and drove the car for like 10 more years without any other trouble. 

If only I still had the $300 ridgeline around I could pull off a J swapped challenge crx
