I am trying to find out if this is normal or not, the car takes a while to warm up, when it isn't warmed up it like to "buck". > Sounds normal because those carbs don't have chokes. They should warm up pretty quickly though, depending on the outside temp. >If I do normal city driving (going to the store and back) the car really doesn't want to start, it takes a couple of cranks and some pushing on the gas pedal to crank over. Any ideas? Are the carbs to big? I am beginning to hate car mechanics. > I've never had a pancake, dual-carb. equipped Type 3 that fired right up when hot. My first '67 Square, 1641cc w/Dellorto 34s, was pretty good though, only a second or 2. My current '67 I usually step on the gas a little when hot and it cranks for a few seconds, maybe 5? When it's real hot out (90+), I slowly floor the pedal and then crank. This technique is from a Type 3 factory bulletin (I think Russ Wolfe has it on his site) and may not apply to other carb. manufacturers. My '65 Squareback cranked for a loooong time when hot but the 6v system needed some attention. Everett Barnes ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
