I need some help on how to start my j reg 1.4 luxe. The car is currently a rall car - standard engine 1.4 with twin 40 dollorto's. Now the carbs wil need rejetting as they have come off a 1.6. The carbs were set up by the mot peeps to pass it through on emissions etc and i know i need to put this on a rolling road to sort them out. How much does rejetting cost?
But my main problem is that it take ages to turn over the engine. I usually pump the accelerator twice and crank it, however ive had a newish battery in it for about 6 months and each time i crank it the battery crank over gets weaker and weaker until it doesnt at all. Ive put new plugs on it and dizzy. I have to jump start the battery now to get it fired up. Is there any thing i can do to get the car firing up quicker?
