Hard Starting

Posted by Plugs1 On 2014/9/23 5:54:51

Good Morning! I am presently on the 69th Glidden Tour in Ohio. Yesterday was the first day and part of the adventure was the hard starting of my 1940 120 when we stopped for more than 10 minutes. I've followed the stating directions in the manual, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem. Of course it happens when there are many people standing around commenting on how nice the car looks. Then, my embarrassment grows considerably with each revolution of the starter. One time it even backfired and blew the air cleaner off. I've got to be doing something wrong. Never had this problem with my other cars. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
