We have a 1965 BJ8 that is a bear to start.  Car cranks OK but only after
repeated attempts will it fire up on full choke.  Then it usually is only
firing on is a few cylinders and will not exceed maybe 500 RPM (alternator
light still on).  After repeated attempts car will run but coughs and spits
egregiously with every application of the gas pedal.  Finally when car is
warm, it smoothes out and runs OK with only an occasional cough/spit.  Any
thoughts appreciated.  John Trifari Golden Gate AHC
