<div class="moz-cite-prefix">First make sure points/dwell angle are
adjusted correctly, renew plugs, check coil, resistor and
condenser, adjust ignition timing, set valves, adjust the carbs
and floats, fill up the pods and make sure the pistons are free
to move. Check that the starter and ignition wiring is tip top,
not forgetting the earth strap.<br>
After that just pull the choke right out and start up pushing home
the choke knob gradually as the engine warms up. Pumping does not
really help as the carbs are presumably SU.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">My nephew has just recently acquired a very
nice BJ8 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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, the car is safely tucked up in a
garage in Paris and all is well......</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">10+/- attempts my nephew said.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Leaving aside any worries as to potential
problems with fuel or spark for the moment:-</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How do you guys start your BJ8s???</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One pump? No pump? Choke and foot half
down?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What do you do if it fires then goes dead
again?.....give it a little pump when it coughs, then ease
off?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, we know that they’re all a bit
different as are we, but I’m trying to establish a start
point. (No pun intended!)</p>
