A few mornings ago, my 1600 carb Tipo struggled to start up before the 4-5th attempt.
I thought this was maybe a one off, but it has done it the past few mornings (Guess it doesnt like them?!). I am starting to get a little worried as, soon, it may not start at all!
It will turn over, catch, but then die. It will do this a few times, then after a few tries, it will fire up.
When it eventually starts, I rev it, and it doesnt seem to struggle, so maybe not blocked or over-fuelled. Once it is warm it is fine, and so throughout the day.
Not sure what to check first other than the usual plugs and leads etc.
I replaced the arm, dizzy cap and plugs not too long ago, the leads seem in good nick.
Does any one have any suggestions? - (and no fixit, I can't unplug it :D !)
 
Yes you can :)

I had a similar problem with my 1.6ie - start it in the dark and see how much 'disco lite' effect you get!

It was just a simple wash and wipe for me to beat those disharge blues ;)
 
Had similar problems with a 1.4 carb, Turned out to be the fuel cut-off solenoid in the carb
