Stale fuel
Last filled my 1800S with fuel in early October.
Despite having a strong battery the engine would not start. Fuel is getting to the carbs. In the morning tomorrow I intend to get a can of Holts Bradex Easy Start, and seeing if this does the trick.
I am hoping adding some fresh fuel will allow the car to restart as usual.
Thinking back when I have left the car for a couple of months previously it has taken at least a minute or more of cranking before the engine would "fire". In the past I have been of the view this was just due to the time taken to draw fuel to the carbs (with the car's standard fuel pump). Now I am wondering if this is also a sign of stale fuel.
Thoughts?
