When I start my BT7 Tricarb I (naturally) first turn the ignition key. This sets off some fast ticking from the fuel pump until it has built up pressure. The ticking slows down after a few seconds and then stops altogether. I wait for a few seconds more to make sure that the carbs are filled, pull the choke and then press the start button. The engine cranks for several seconds without any sign of starting. Then it sputters and dies instantly. After one or two more attempts it starts and then runs well. This happens only when the engine is cold, when it is warm it always starts instantly. Perhaps not a big problem, but does anyone have an idea why it takes so long to start?
Cheers!
