...........is he sure he was turning the right screws? if he was turning the fuel mixture screw on accident he'll either flood it or lean it out till the point it won't start....

once it's at least starting again check the timing too. I can't remember if it's the same or not but usually there's a lock bolt that you loosen and then you can turn the distributor cap to adjust the timing. i honestlydo wish you the best and wish there was more i could do :/

By lip do you mean front spoiler?I couldnt tell ya.Thats how i bought the car.Really the body on this car is straight.It only has one problem spot,its on the drivers side where the bumper raps around.I already paid for the car,i just hope yhe person i bought the car from gets it running right so i can have it in my driveway."LOL"

The person i bought this car from,bought it drove it then parked it.It started and ran good.He unbolted carb and intake,swapped it with RacingBeat intake and carb,thats it.I have no clue.

I'd give racing beat a call and see what their suggestions are since it's their product.
