well, what can i say.

booked in for MOT but do you think the Foooker would start !!!



definately fuel related as i kept turning her over and she would not catch, however the exhaust on cylinders 3 & 4 were 'warm ' to the touch, and 1 & 2 stone cold (the car has Twin 45 Dellorto's fitted.

cleaned the carb feeding cylinder 1 & 2 , still no luck.

i just kept turning and turning it over, and after an age, she Fired up , even more puzzling, she ran sweet as a nut, but by now too late for the MOT


took some pics instead........................































then went to put it back in the garage and it wouldnt start!!!

after ages turning it over, Boom, she fired into life, and ran as sweet as a nut, its as though the fuel takes forever to reach the furthest carb feeding cylinder 1 & 2

anyone got some decent money for a decent (tempermental) car
