Third time start, every time...
Discussion
So, this isnt something im likely to fix as its on my shed and I just dont care tbh - so long as it goes eventually.
But id like to know what the cause is likely to be.
Car is a 90 renault 5 1.1 shedmobile. Carburetted. When cold it will only start on the 3rd attempt - if you leave it cranking on the first or 2nd it wont go, but third time fires up straightaway. Other than this it drives without any problems.
Ive tried replacing dizzy cap, rotor arm, leads and plugs so far in my attempts to avoid having to remove the carb - which has a nicely warped base and so is a pain to seal properly when refitting. In fact, it weeps a very small amount of fuel even now, which may be related.
The choke is operating correctly.
