Some of you may recall being asked for and kindly giving advice re vendors and cars etc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Now, the car is safely tucked up in a garage in Paris and all is well......<o:p></o:p></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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">10+/- attempts my nephew said.<o:p></o:p></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!<o:p></o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Leaving aside any worries as to potential problems with fuel or spark for the moment:-<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">How do you guys start your BJ8s???<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">One pump? No pump? Choke and foot half down?<o:p></o:p></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?<o:p></o:p></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.
