My 63Hawk is hard to get started from cold.
After using magic spray it gets going but gives out a tinny sound on acceleration as if there is a vacuum leakor a leak of some kind.After a run of 5-6 miles there seems to be a slight surge and on one occasion the motor has cut out but could be re started immediately afterwards.Am in the process of checking the inlet manifold in case the exhaust may be leaking into the inlet.I have installed teflon bushes on the front butterfly spindle on the carb as it was very loose but the noise and hard starting persists.Fuel pressure is 4Lbs
and vacuum at idle is about 14.The PCV valve into the carb is clear.
Apart from the problem with the front suspension and the starting,2 years of restoration should be finished!Any help would be appreciated
