Have a B20 with dual SU carbs in the 122. This past summer it took longer to start. Tonight, temp outside down to 45F, had manual choke wide open for about a minute over 5 or 6 tries and afraid this is bad for starter. Carbs were syncronized by good vintage Volvo mechanic a few years ago in Oregon, but now in colder storage for winter.
Thinking may have to tune SU carbs and adjust choke. Runs fine and restarts fine when warm. Have not synced carbs myself, but watched a few videos, and have a syncrometer from ipd. Funny, videos watched just showed both carbs with number match on this meter, but did not point out what number on device they should match at.
Can push choke all the way back in after 5 or 10 minutes and warmed up, and then will start right back up and run fine. Wider viscosity dashpot oil for starting in colder temps?
Any insights on whether this is more of a sync issue, choke adjustment, dashpot oil is much appreciated!
