You should be able to see a dot of light if you loo...

Re: Starting engine from cold

Re: Pierburg 2E3
Hi Jonathan, I'd second this.....as first port of call you can take the emulsion tube out from the top of the carb and blast it with some carb cleaner or if it's gummed up use a really thin bit of wire, use a flat screwdriver that fits snug to remove it otherwise you could damage it as its soft met...
