My '61 Sport has had a complete rebuild, with Pezon ignition and a Makuni carb.
It started and runs sweet. Did a lovely 20mile run in the sunshine and it pulls and runs really strongly. However, at the local pub yesterday, after an hour or so went to start it, everyone watching.... and it didnt... oh the emraasment...
My starting process was, choke on, ignition on prod prod,prod..
FINALLY started with a long bump start. Got home and after half hour or so it started 1st prod...I'm suspecting engine flooding and didnt have a plug spanner...that was dumb of me...
I'm going to change the plugs today, but curious if any one else has had similar problems.
I didnt know it had a flat battery emergency start ignition setting BTW..
According to the hand book starting process is...check on, 2 prods, ignition the on and "it will start"
Is this the correct and best way to start?
Also I had a good laugh having found the ARIEL "TYRE INFLATION DEVICE" in the storage area...a white bicycle pump..
.Thanks guys
