- My TR3 is hard starting in the winter. It is garage kept and the garage has been in the 60's inside. After not driving for 3 weeks it cranks slower than I would like and tries to start and dies. It e

- Bill, Could be two things......weak battery and/or fuel evaporating naturally in the fuel bowls. Over the winter I try to get my TR4 out for a run at least once a month and mine cranks a little slowe

- A couple of things to try. If you have a priming lever on your fuel pump, use that to make sure your float bowls are full. If you have battery charger, make sure your battery is fully charged and see

- Bill, This is a long shot but it actually happened to me a few years ago with the early style starter on TS30766L. Car was real hard to turnover on the initial starting for the day, but after that it

- Great advice Bill, Great advice, but I have a post-6000 car without that sleeve assembly part in the starter. I have an electric fuel pump and wait for the bowls to fill up before cranking. Maybe it

- Sounds to me like multiple (tho possibly related) problems. Cold weather is a quadruple whammy: batteries lose a lot of performance when they are cold, it's harder for the spark to jump the gap, fue

- Mine had been sitting since December, also in a garage. Was so hard to start, I had to check spark and fuel to make sure it was getting any. It was, and eventually kicked over. Even then, it wouldn'

- I've found that priming the fuel pump, before the first start each day, helps a lot. Just open the bonnet, reach down to the fuel pump on the driver's side (LHD). Below the fuel pump is a lever that

- I should have added, I have an electric fuel pump and I wait for pressure to fill the resevoirs. And I run a gear reduction starter. Temp in the garage is barely 42 degrees so I'm liking the concept

- I'm thinking it might have a lot to do with the gasoline we pumped into it which was crap when it was fresh. Now that it sat over the winter it doesn't have enough energy left to run a kerosene stove
