Hi all
I don't know about other BJ8s but mine is a pig if the chokes are even
slightly out of order that is not fully, should I say open? So check the
linkages and if you can move them further when the knob is apparently fully
out.
Just an observation

Dmne: [Healeys] BJ8 doesn't want to start
I am having a problem getting my BJ8 to start. It has been sitting for a few
months while I replaced the starter with a gear reduction type starter and
did some work on the cooling system.
The car will crank, there is spark at the plugs, and there is fuel in the
carburetor bowls. I sprayed starting fluid into the rear carb with the aid
of a short section of hose and it tried to run but I could not get it to
start after spraying more starter fluid. My theory was that if the engine
ran for however long with starter fluid it meant that there is a problem
with the carburetors. What part of the carburetor could be causing the no
start condition? Fuel is getting to the fuel bowls, the fuel bowls are full,
I checked that the Gross Jet float valve were not stuck. What am I missing
in this diagnostic process?
Thanks
Jorge Garcia
