Hi all,

Love the site, I have a Ford Capri Laser with a 2.0ltr pinto.
Im new to the Classic Cars and im haven a bit of bother with getting it started when its cold, I was talking to Doire Abú on capripower.com, he said there is a few lads from sligo here who might be able to help me out.

Welcome to the site Stephen.

hello there

lads with the capris here are good

ask 3.2turban :rofl: or caprifans :up: :up:

welcome to efi

hello and welcome

Welcome to EFI, we like pics here........ :up: :up:

Pig to the slaughter :cry: :D

Welcome...That capri was forsale on ebay in england few months back? could be more. She was a nice looking machine! :up:

saw that on eh :head: bebo, thats what it was, cant remember the page though :head:

It was on donedeal up the north, there was a few problems with her but there sorted now only the cold starting problem I can't get me head around. :head:

welcome and enjoy :up: :up:

welcome along lad ;)

Welcome to efi Stephen, looks very nice motor B) i not much of a mechanic, things i fix seem to always get worse before they get better :rolleyes: but sounds to me like your automatic choke is't working, is it the right carbs that are fitted, ie the ones from the 2.0ltr engine ?, my 2.0ltr is 83 and when i start her first thing she ticks over high because the auto choke kicks in, takes about 15mins before it switches off, and ticks over normally, :unsure:

Cheers thanks. They are bike carbs that are on it. after a while of trying to start it she just ticks over normal. If I charge the Battery she will start afer 2 or 3 turns but the battery doesn drain?? :head:

Ok Lad I really out my depth on this one, i have no idea about bike carbs or how they work, but still think it may be a choke related issue of some kind, maybe someone here knows about bike stuff to or has knowledge of this set up, could shed more light, sorry, if you having too much trouble you could look into fitting standard set up again, might be worth sticking a topic in the Technical room too, someone may see it tere that knows alot more then me :up:

Cheers man thanks for the help. :up:

:up: steo me auld flower, i knew youd join eventually. welcome aboard
