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

cheeRS

notice your fuel reg is in boot.
i have always been told to put it as close to the carbs as possible. maybe this has something to do with starting problems.
cheers.

looks great gj, driveways top notch as well m8
good luck with the restest

ive got twin 45 dellortoes and my reg is next to the carbs what pressure is your reg set at 1 psi i think is right, so it looks to me when the car has been sitting your fuel pumps in the boot are pumping all the way to the carbs at 1 psi try moving the reg and see how it goes

[graham John]

its not the Reg.

pressure is set at 3psi, have fuel pressure through all pipes up to the Carb

could be what Leon said


when you coming over mr van mullecom

NOT ... you all have the Mexican flue I hear ...

If the reg is set at 3 (or maybe 4) psi then that's good. And it doesn't have to be close to the carbs. The fuelpressure needs to be high enough to deliver the juice to the front of the car, and low enough not to push the float-valve open when the float is full.
With an injected engine the fuelpressure needs to be stable at all times so that's why the reg is near the injectors.

Don't have a Dell'Orto book GJ, but take floatcover off and locate the float-valve. On a Weber it is screwed to the cover, a Dell'Orto should be much the same. Take it out, put it in white spirit or so clean it and put it back.
If that doesn't cure it it probably will be a dirty starterjet.

Thanks for book, arrived safely. Leon.
