Starting from cold is a real chore for my Seven. the process is as follows with full choke, full advance, and throttle open.
Churn churn churn, nothing. Repeated 4 or 5 times until I get churn churn cough, then churn churn cough couch, then churn brmm die. Followed by churn brmm brmm die, followed by churn and away we go but needing careful throttle management as the revs climb and fall of their own free will.
Once started the car is really responsive and sprightly and settles down to a reasonable idling tickover. The timing is, I believe correct as the car climbs hills nicely . The mixture seems ok but I need to verify that. The plugs look to be an acceptable colour.
The carburettor is a 26VA, with which I've little experience or real knowledge.
Any thoughts will be gratefully read and acted on where appropriate
