My 1.7 has these carbs on it. They have an electric choke so starting it up cold for the first time is quick and good. But i'll go driving around town... Stop at some stores for 10 minutes, and when I come back to start it up, how do I do so? Depress the gas pedal like the first start up? I usually just turn the key and it'll turn over forever but not fire until I pump the gas a lot, then it'll catch and idle extremely low and pop and bitch at you, and you have to rev it for around 20 seconds before it'll idle right... This is embarassing sometimes as I have a lot of pride in my car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) So, How are you supposed to start up after it's warm? Is there a certain way or is something screwed? Also.. there are sometimes some small pops of backfire, not huge blasts but just a small series of pops. I am wondering if this is normal?
Any help would be great. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

take the filters off, get it warm enough for the chokes to open, shut it down for a bit and see if the chokes are reclosing. part of the problem(i think) is the when the engine is hot and then you shut it down for a bit the engine compartment stays pretty warm. the fuel in the carb bowls and lines gets pretty warm. less dense so less charge? my 40 idfs will do the same thing on warm days when it sits for just a few minutes. after 30 mintures or so it will start right up without touching the gas pedle and enough cranking to start drawing fuel. another of the minor carb curses. the cooler fuel will get into the bowls in just a matter of 30 seconds or so. be patient and live with it.
