Correction.
Mainshaft is still turning, but no gears are engaged.

Foot on clutch means less load on the starter.
Even if you are in neutral the gearbox layshaft is still turning

My old fuel pump gave up the ghost a few weeks ago, so I replaced it with a new one I had here. Just left the car for a week, and have just done the "foot on clutch, turn over for 10 secs, pump the pedal twice" technique. Faltered for a bit, then started. Seems the old pump was slowly on the way out?

Other Forums partly fund themselves by allowing advertising on their websites.
I wondered if that had been considered?

Just fitted a new one!

My Sud has the original type mechanical fuel pump. If the car is left unused for over a week, fuel drains back into the tank, and starting can be difficult. Battery is ok. I've tried easy start, and also taking the plugs out and operating the starter to get fuel through, but a bit of a pain. I fitte...

I would like to help.

But I have no idea how much the forum costs to run and maintain!

Also try Ebay/ Justsuds etc

quite a few bumpers on Ebay, mostly from Italy.
Might be cheaper/better than plating the old ones?

Are all four accelerator pump jets squirting fuel when you operate the throttle manually?

Do you have the four small rubber pipes coming from the oil filler neck to the carbs?

If any of those pipes are split, you could be pulling air.

Maybe spray WD 40 round the gasket to see if its pulling air?

People come up to my Sud, and say, I used to have one of them, it went like stink, but.........

I stop them and say, but it fell apart with rust!

A bit cheaper!

Eurocarb website shows how to check float level on Dellorto

But I previously had Weber sidedrafts and found simply bending the float tabs was a very crude adjustment.

I got the correct fuel level from a forum, and adjusted the tabs to achieve this.

What air filters are you running?
ITG/ Pipercross etc pull more air than original.

I had old ITG ones and bits of foam got in the holes next to the idle jets, blocking them and causing a problem.

I only use K&N now

On my LH (2-4) carb , I have fuel in at bottom entry and fuel out at top, feeding RH carb. On my RH (1-3) carb, I have single entry . Eurocarb 11067, or 12311, depending on bolt size. On the pipe feeding the RH carb, I have Eurocarb 99901.415 8-6 mm reducing tee, which the 6mm fuel return connects t...

Seems your fuel pipe arrangement is correct.

Have you tried new NGK plugs?

Have a good read of sprint88qv's post on Nov 10th on page 1. Your mixture screws seem out a long way. I usually start at 2.5 . Also there are small holes in the carb top, next to the idle jets. Make sure these are clear, as they can easily block with dirt Could your pulsing be ignition related? Colo...

Ian at Sudshop may be able to answer your question.

New master cylinders are still easily available on Ebay.
Search under Alfa 33 for more sensible prices.
