Here we go
my v8 has been stood for 28 years
now mot;d but has issues like running!
it starts , loves choke, but settles down after about 20 mins
then i go to drive it and it goes onto spluttering and nearly conking out until it gets more choke.
carbs have been cleaned etc as has most of it
it ticks over lovely although if you blip the throttle you get a higher or lower reading say 9000rpm instead of 7 000rpm and then 6ooo rpm
still, then after a mile or so you stop, leave it say 30 mins and its the devils own job to start
even after a minute its reluctant to start, you need a good battery
i have electronic ignition to try but why allthe choke?
the choke cable has been lubricatedbut the last half inch before the knob is in (not sure how to phrase that so sorry!) seems to make no difference to anything as the choke light will be out by then anyway
it ticks over quite well, with no choke it will carry on for an hour probably.
then you go to drive it and its barely moving until it has choke.
ideas please
if any women from bournemouth read this then its 'sensible' ideas ple :roll: ase!
