Maintenance/Repairs

Dear members,

I bought a car aware of its starting problem. As I have to get it repaired I will need some insight into the problem

The car starts if I press the gas pedal slightly. It falters a little and idles a little rough, fuel can be smelled in the exhaust after the startup (not afterwards). Once the car starts it drives just fine. The guy who sold me the car informed me that he ran the car to empty tank two days ago and had to fetch 2 gallons in a can to start it again, that is when the problem started.

Any think that comes to your mind ?

Thanks in advance
