<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ">I would
concur that is likely is a choke issue as well, he should always start it with
the choke pulled, and first he should make sure that the choke cables are
properly adjusted. If that does not work, I would say it is a language issue,
this car is used to be sworn at it in English, now that the car is in France, he
must teach it the local language, I can swear in both French and English, let me
know if he needs lessons lol!</SPAN></P>

which he imported from the US to France. Some of you may recall being asked for
and kindly giving advice re vendors and cars etc.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Now, the car is safely tucked up in a garage in Paris
and all is well......</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Except.....except – there’s always an “except” or a
“but” isn’t there? – except, it doesn’t really like starting. It needed a new
battery which we’d been told to expect but, even with that, it’s a little slow
to fire up. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">10+/- attempts my nephew said.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Now, I’m in England; the car’s in France and my nephew
would be the first to admit that he’s never been a mechanic or owned a car
remotely like a 3000. So, it’s very likely that his technique needs
polish!</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">(The fuel pump works; fuel get to the carbs. The
ignition seems good and will soon be better (in my own humble opinion) with a
Pertronix EI and a “Flamethrower”(?) coil.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Leaving aside any worries as to potential problems with
fuel or spark for the moment:-</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">How do you guys start your BJ8s???</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">One pump? No pump? Choke and foot half
down?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: "><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">What do you do if it fires then goes dead
again?.....give it a little pump when it coughs, then ease
off?</FONT></SPAN></P>
