Well, my solex(?) problem, is not a NON starting one...It starts, but it "coughs" for a few seconds (first 10 seconds?not more...)
Then everything, but EVERYTHING goes allright (sweet and smooth)
Cold start issues...

Re: Cold start issues...
yes, but they are notorious for failing. a brand new one, is still not as good as a weber though....

That's why y'bought an old car.It starts, but it "coughs" for a few seconds
When I'm 70 ore even 80, I cough a lot more when a wake up.
But it's true, the weber has less parts and therefor easier.

Re: Cold start issues...
My grandfather did buy the car.
I found it in the family with less than 80000 km when I was about 18. Now I am 35 and the car has another 100000km (almost 180000 in total)
The coughing has just started...But I don't think it's an unfixable problem
