Esprit Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Sure it's not a lazy battery Richard? Just recently had similar trouble with the E-Type and it ended up a mixture of timing being a bit out and too much voltage drop when cranking for more than a second or two.

Snoozin Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 What's wrong with Strombergs? I can't really find any arguments for or against either carb option on the 2000's eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 mah just general consensus around the traps i frequent i guess. I've not had anything with a dashpot style stromberg but yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 choke right out and no throttle boe. Yuh, that = how the 110 starts too, full choke and just crank it. VROOM etc, then half choke til it warms up then you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about the 2000s, but on the TRs, the Zenith Strombergs always came out on the "emissions spec" cars, for the yank market. The SUs were always fitted to the "full fat" sports cars. The TRs that I've seen that don't run injection often run SUs unless they've gone the full weber route. Nothing terribly against the Zenith Strombergs, just the SUs were always consensually preferable. Get a couple of HS-6's on there, they're pretty common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
