[Roadsters] Starting car

[Tim]

 From James's reply to you inquiry on the 311s forum:




"That's easy. Firstly you'll need an electric fuel pump - it will make 
this SO much easier.

Get a 1 Gallon gas can and some fuel line. Rig up the electric fuel pump 
hot wire to + on the coil and black ground wire to the car frame. 
Assemble everything OUTSIDE in a well ventilated area. Hook up the fuel 
lines through the pump and directly to the carbs - you'll want a pump 
that is low pressure if you're using SU's.

When you hook it up and start the pump it should fill up the float bowl 
on the carbs and NOT overflow. If you have float or float valve problem 
it will come out of the overflow tube on the car.

Once your float bowls are full, the car should be ready to crank and 
start. And it should run fine like that long enough to warm it up and 
tune it.

Good luck,
James"
