Dollorto Problem

[mattyd81]

Im also having problems with my twin dollortos on my 1400i luxe nova.

They were all set up ok for emissions at the mot, however it takes ages to start. I have to open the bonnet and flick on of the chokes to the side, I then have to pump the accelerator and keep trying to turn it over. This probably takes about 10 mins!

Is there anyway i can make this like a 10 sec start!!

Once warm its ok, but when i turn off the ignition it takes a while to start up again...im confused!!

is it auto choke?

[S_Gault]

you dont need chok on side draughts, just press throttle 4-5 times,

but i reckon the acceleration pump diapragms need replacing

Mines not exactly easy to start

it starts first time but is a bit more of a pig than it was before (a 1.2 carb)

but 10 mins sounds excessive lol - try Mr Gaults advice as he knows his stuff

yeah its auto choke...just a pain in the arse! :twisted:

your carbs arnt auto choke as thsy used to be on my 1600 rally engine
they need rejetting these were set up for a 1600 with a cam and bvh
a couple of pumps on the accelerator and they should be away
can always wire a choke cable to the chokes they do work then its a simple pull on the cable from inside the car....allthough you shouldnt need it if there set up correctly
