slow start
 

Hi folks
I got a 1970 bug i recently dismanteld to detail the engine. I removed manifold, generator stand, distributor, tinware and shroud etc. But i left the block and heads on. It sat in pieces for about 2 montsh. I have put it back together. And it did start today. But not after turning it over about a million times with it almost firing time and time again. Once running its fine. It will even idle pretty good. Tad rough, but acceptable and it doesnt stall.

I have a 009 distributor and carb is a pict 30 - 2. It seems to backfire over and over again until she finally gets it together and runs. It used to turn over no problem at all.

Any ideas are welcome.

cheers

Kirk
