MK2 Poor starting when hot
Moderators:Aceman, ecosselynx
I have a 1961 2.4 MK2 with solex carbs which will not start when hot. The only modification I have had is electronic ignition. Has anyone any ideas where I should start looking?

Hello Gsu 886,
I have no experience of the Solex but suggest that checking the idle mixture as it may be too weak. I'm assuming that the engine is cranking over properly? If that doesn't help then a timing and compression check is what I would do? Also, with your electronic ignition, did you open the spark plug gap, if so, I would revert to standard.
