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

Re: Non return valve
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?

Non return valve
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...

Re: Twin carbs
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.

Re: Twin carbs
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.

Re: Twin carbs
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

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...
