I turn on the key and pump the fuel a few times. Repeat MANY times. I’ve tried just holding the fuel open about 50% but that normally only gives me a backfire. Once it starts I need to give it a little extra fuel for 30 seconds or so and in runs fine. Normally the first time I pull out in traffic I need to pump a bit extra. After that it’s great.

I (sadly) only get mine out a couple times a year, and only when ambient temps over 50.
Cold start: Turn the key on/off a few times to let the pump run and make sure there is gas in the carb bowls. Pump the pedal a couple times, turn the key and she usually fires up. May have to 'butterfly' it a little until all cylinders kick in, and hold it around 2000 rpm a few minutes until it warms up. Warm/hot start: make sure it's in neutral, lean in the driver window, turn the key. No pedal necessary. I don't think the carbs (original Webers) have been touched in at least 10 years. |
