My 65 BJ8 is extremely hard to start when cold. After warmup it starts right up. When cold I mean
at 70 degrees outside. Sputters and dies then finally starts. Installed a hi-torque starter, no help.
Any ideas?
I also have the same problem when cold or unused for many weeks, I solved with a STARTER spray
The Procedure is this
-Handbrake ON-gearbox in NEUTRAL -STARTER completely PULLED- hood OPENED- Key ON- waiting a little that PUMP works-
then I SPRAY on the two -Air Filters-
and immediately after with the right hand press the Starter Button and
With the Left Hand move the throttle lever(of the carbs) to accelerate a bit - normally starting easy, after few turns
It works for me with the oldest Starter Motor and a Good battery 80 or 100A
Lengthen the Life to all the TWO components
Also my car warmed start immediatly _but require that Gearbox was in NEUTRAL
This is a bug- but I haven't find any explication -Help needed
