As above - I have been having a fiddle with out Magnum before starting the resto work on the body. Started for the first time in about five years on Saturday. From cold she starts with the choke out first turn of the key. Once warm she is really troublesome to start - currently I am having to put a small amount of petrol (15-30ml) into the carb and then she will start eventually - with some backfiring. When warm, she runs very rough and cuts out if you try to accelerate too hard. Any thoughts on where to start with diagnosis? I would kind of like her running well before i pull the engine out to start welding but it isn't essential.
My first thoughts were to strip and clean the carb, but I am worried about gaskets availability etc for the engine if I need to replace any as i go.
