greetings...a question re hard starting and card setting
questions. my 79 spit hase become reluctant to starting
on its own lately. when i activate the choke, i can smell
gas after a few atarting attempts, indicating floding, and
the choke finctioning (i think?)....i stopped by the auto
store in town, and picked up a can of starting spray...it
works like a charm, starting the car w/in the first few seconds
of turning the motor over....without this spray, the motor
turns, and turns....running down the battery, and gettin the
starter motor "hot and bothered"...so, the two questions
are:
1) i think i heard using the starter spary, is hard on the valves
or other parts of the motor...opinions?
2) as i consider tinkering around w/the carb settings...where should
i start?...float level? mixture?....just re build the card and
"start over"?..
thanx for replys...
