Hello, I've recently installed Dual webers carbs on my 1835 Kombi and I've been made aware that they don't like cold starts because of the lack of a choke but, I was wandering what was the best "accelerator pedal pump combination" for cold starts would be, currently I'm trying 2 pedal pumps, and then start the motor,,,with no success,, I then tried 2 pumps of the pedal and kept my foot on the pedal when I kicked it over and still no great luck,,,both times I've had to kick it in the gut's about 3-4 times befor it would ignite and idle. I love the performance I'm getting from the webers when I'm away and running, but the 3-4 starts in the morning is a pain in the ass, not to mention my motor. Can someone with weber experience offer some advise please, so I can get my Kombi going in the mornings with less turns on the ingnition?

Thank you.

Hi,
I have 40 IDF's on my 2L Kombi and find that 2 pumps plus a slight depression of the pedal then crank works fine.
Check that your ignition is in good shape and that the idle mixture is not too lean.

I had a 2 ltr Kombi with 44 IDF's on it and it was easy to start, one pump and hit it, started easily.
I would check your ignition system, points leads, plugs etc,
What jetting are you running?

Thanks Boyz, I'll check into all things suggested and report back how I went. I didn't think the Webbers were made to perform the way they have been on my kombi, I HATE STARTING IT 3-4 times to get her top go!!!
