My 2 Liter carb'd car is extremely hard to start. Once started it runs very well except a bit rich. Attempts to start will crank the engine over and just before starting the starter seems to quit - sounds as if the engine tries to turn backward stopping the started motor rotation.
Could this be a defective starter switch. Timing seems correct and it is set for 29 degrees BTDC. Running Pertronix ignition. I've trouble shot the unit as their tech service recommends and all checked out
ALL parts are new, starter, battery, ignition switch, Engine rebuilt. Hell the whole build is new.
Engine and car are a delight to drive but this start issue is a major problem. Not reliable to take anywhere.
Appreciate the brain trust input to solve this problem. Thanks all
