Pierburg pipes and wires

[Ian Hulley]

When wanting to start from cold ....

With keys in left hand (and after checking oil and coolant levels) press the accelerator pedal to the floor and gently lift off your foot.

Insert ignition key and start engine without touching the pedal.

Engine will fire and rev up to ~2000 rpm

1 gentle blip of the pedal will knock it down onto '1/2 choke' ~1200 rpm

leaving the engine to warm this should knock itself off when warm onto normal tick-over which is ~800rpm otherwise another blip of the pedal will probably do the same.

This on a manual DG or DJ running a Pierburg carb.

good luck with your works today

the wiki diagram might be a useful common reference point - eg - 'i cant where 26 - the secondary pipe connects to on the wiki diagram....'

i'm happy to nip out and take photos of my pierburg carb connections if you get stuck -

Job Done, thanks for all the help. Although i haven't been able to start it yet until i get the tank back on, but i'm sure it'll run like a dream.

Give it a thorough service and look after it properly, there's no reason why it shouldn't.
