Re: What Is Your Engine Start Procedure?

When I reinstalled the engine I also installed a glass float bowl filter just prior to the carburetor float. I noticed after the car had sat for 3 days that the fuel in the glass bowl was only about one quarter full. This car does have an electric pump so that makes refilling the carburetor float bowl easy.

It seems that to pump the gas pedal twice with the ignition off and then hold the accelerator pedal all the way down after the second pump, and then turn the ignition switch to the right it seems the car starts up fine.

With a hot engine it seems that pushing the gas pedal down makes it start a bit rich.

Thanks for the suggestions!!!
