I agree, turn the key and listen for fuel pump, wait a few secs and pump a few times and she fires right up.
That's a cold start. If I rush the process and start cranking before it gets fuel pressure up it might crank a bit. Remember carbed cars have low fuel pressure so I like to give it a good prime. Hot starts are basically a key turn. John |
