Starting Issue
Discussion
Help required regarding a recent intermittent starting issue mine has developed (Chim 4L).
Car used daily and usually starts first time on the button, no throttle required.
Recently an odd time, such as today, if it does not fire on the very first crank, it refuses to start and just gets totally flooded?
Have to leave it few minutes then usually then starts.
Today however, simply refused to start once obviously completely flooded, very nice RAC man out, within the hour, most spark plugs then removed, dried off and put back.
Still would not fire on the starter and took 3 attempts with a tow to get her fired up cranking starter at same time as dumping clutch in 2nd gear?
Never had an issue starting up to this in last 2.5 years using her every day, hail rain & snow (most fun).
Distributor Cap was bone dry inside no dampness, recent plugs, metal shrouds and leads, plenty of Super Unleaded fuel in, etc.
Any suggestions folks would be appreciated?
Thanks in advance
