very lumpy start in cold weather

[stevo1980]

Not fitted one yet. Ordering tomorrow with some other bits. How do i disconnect them and what is it like to start in the morning without them.

Cable and stat make no difference to the way it starts, they just speed up the warming process.

Im on about the auto choke.

[stevo1980]

Got all the bits a was missing and replaced, checked for vacume etc and all runs sweet. Is it me or does my bus go a bit quicker cos of this, no hesitation just power thru all the gears, cant believe how much of a difference its made. Just need to see what its like in the morning too. Ordered all my other bits today, heat exchanger, thermostat etc. Money well spent i hope.

[stevo1980]

Yeah just as i thought it was me thinking it was faster, its actually goin slower, when i set off from starting it lags like mad and cant get any power, even cut out half way ip the road and still stiks of petrol and usin a "pooh" load.

have you done a compression check to give you an idea of the engines condition , have you checked for airleaks on the induction side , is the carburettors got all the parts they should have fitted , is the timing set to factory spec , and is the distributor advancing correctly to 30 degrees
