![]() I will be taking a look sometime, but wanted to know others experience and whether I'm wasting my time? Don't want to take it all apart if I don't have to. ![]() Does this make sense, or is there a hole in my theory? This could also be the reason it works fine for the next week or so, as it still has some oil on it. I think it starts after a few minutes as oil has reached it again, and frees it. I was wondering if it's sticking on, so it isn't pulling the fuel through enough, as the exhaust valve is staying open, so hardly any compression. I think the decompressor opens one of the exhaust valves so the engine can get turning initially, then when it's spinning fast enough (even at starter motor speeds) it isn't in play anymore, and both exhaust valves work normally - is this correct? I don't think it's the carbs, and I don't think it's the ignition, as it starts happily as above, however I was wondering if it may be the decompressor sticking? In fact if you try and start it anytime in the next week it will start fine. If you stop the engine it will start fine, and if you go out for a ride and stop for an hour or two it will start fine. It spins the motor up fine but just doesn't want to fire, it may fire (small firing noise) just once when the engine is first turned, but after that you will need to keep trying for the next 2 to 5 minutes, then it starts up happily, and runs fine. I've had my Pegaso 2000 carb model for about ten years now, and it's always has trouble starting if it hasn't been started for a while (couple of weeks plus).
