UPDATE:
I had a mechanic look at it and he used a lot of carb cleaner and it still wouldnt keep running on its own. It would rev really high and then slowly wind down and then it would do a last jiggle of the car as if it was stalling.

Well the mechanic said I need a new carb but if I went to a junkyard the festiva I get it off probably would have sat for as long as the one I have so I imagine it wouldnt be any better.

The thing is he said they might not even have a rebuild kit for it, so does anyone know where I could find a rebuild kit for a ford festiva or a name of a carb shop that could rebuild it for me. I would rather have a carb shop rebuild it for me so if anyone knows a decent one can you please help me. Thanks.
