bill 0 Posted April 13, 2008 is this the right info regarding starting a car thats on carbs, i have been told you need to pump the pedal 3 times before starting the car, is this right? i'm a bit cautious as the engine has already flooded once, so i dont want it happening again ( not off me, picked it up like that ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted April 13, 2008 I have a Mi16 on twin 45s. 3 pumps when the engine is cold, but air temp above 8 deg C (ish, not to technical!!) And up to 5 when the outside temp is as low as 0. I find this works but try 3 and see how it goes. Once hot just fully press the fun pedal and hold, flick the key and off you go! Warppp!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
