Re: Capri hot start problem
Hi again folks. Glad you liked the pictures of the capri.

Re: Capri hot start problem
Thanks Andrew. I can't take all the credit, my brother had it 90%. I only done the Final touches.
He had cancer and he worked on the capri up until a month before he past away. Im gutted he never got a drive in it.

Re: Capri hot start problem
Thanks folks. I do have the standard gasket. But when I stop the car and leave it for 5min or so the carb gets really hot. I have heard alot about this vapour lock so I thought that might be the problem. The gasket I'm looking for is 1/4 of a inch thick. I also didn't know about starting with a half...
