So I have a 1.8L engine with twin carbs and its very difficult to start, if I put my foot on the gas too soon it just dies, I have to let it run at 2-3 hundred revs until it warms up and slowly cox it into life.It back fires a lot when I take my foot off the gas but often backfires with normal driving. I had the rockers (that's the English word!) checked for gap clearance and there was no gap on any of them!!? but it doesn't seemed to make much difference. Any thing that will stop me snapping, cracking up or popping will be gratefully received. I'm a newbe in the 914 world.
