Hot start issues 320/6

Post by peteferg »

from cold my car is off the button, but when its warm its a b*tch to start. is there something obvious im missing, or is it worth rebuilding the carb?
ive checked the igntion timing, and its spot on, and the choke seems to be going off when the car is hot.

when i start it from hot, i have to turn it over with no throttle at all, then when it starts to fire pump the pedal to get it to go. if a miss it, then it will just keep turning with no thought of firing. as if id pulled the coil off and thown it!

cheers guys....
