Hi. Too much pumping fuel with the pedal will cause wet sparkplugs. 🤷♂️ Dignition on, Choke fully pulled and only 3 times pump. And give the starter after 10 seconds starting enough time to recover. Like a minute. And after the machine is running you should drive directly. Otherwise the car will use much more fuel during standing, until the engine gets warm. A bit fuel runs also down the cylinderwalls into the oil bath. Even new cars have this always. The fuel makes the motoroil thin. Its like a thinner and oil viscosity can be reduced. I recommend you to always drive directly. The other question is: why to drive an oldtimer in such a bad wet weather. I would never use it during winter and i would park it in a garage during these cold and wet times. My oldtimers see only sunshine and dry weather. Mostly i m driving my newer car through the everyday. Greetings Oliver
Hi. I drive my cars no matter what weather it ism and they have survived so far, they can make it a bit longer. Cant be driven direct because when its cold the engine needs to heat up so the carb can supply fuel. But yes the starter needs longer breaks, but could not for the sake of the video👍
Esta muy bonito tu Opel Rekord!!!! yo tenia un Opel rekord 1964 lo extraño mucho. sube mas videos de este coche saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco MEXICO!!!!!!
Remove the air filter cover and spray some brake cleaner into the carburetor before starting. No pumping with the pedal, choke pulled. Brake cleaner is more ignitable than gasoline in cold temperatures.
Flooded out. My father nearly always made the same mistake. The only thing you can do now is to ask for the wife and kids to push the car. Or to let it roll off a slope.
Das kenn' ich. Mein erstes Auto war ein Rekord A, aber noch mit Dreigang-Lenkradschaltung. War im Winter immer eine Prozedur das Auto zu starten. Niemals zu früh das Getriebe an den Motor zu kuppeln.
Thanks for your reply. What's the longest it's taken to start on a freezing cold morning? Do you ever try starting it without any choke? What's it like pulling up a really steep hill with a cold engine?
15 min max, need to let the starter cool down. I do always need the choke. When the engine is cold it runs bad, needs a lot of fuel and the carb cant handle it until its up to temp, so i could not run up a hill until its up to temp. (Also my carb probably need a good clean)
La frizione va sempre tenuta premuta a fondo perché stacca il motore dal cambio facilitandone la rotazione (il motorino d’avviamento non deve far ruotare anche il cambio). Quando il motore si accende non bisogna lasciarlo spegnere finché non raggiunge la temperatura normale di esercizio perché se si spegne prima non sarà freddissimo ne in temperatura rendendo ancora più difficile modularne il comando arricchitore. Se si è molto giovani certe cose non si sanno, meglio informarsi prima… 🙂
Its running quite okey i think the video makes it sound worse. But i do think it has gotten worse since summer. , it needs to warm up before it gets power to drive. drove it a lot in the summer no problem, before that it sat outside probably for years. I will do a Quick tune up for next season, plugs oil filter carbclean and maybe watch over the timing (for the first time) and hope it runs a better. But hevy missfiring i would not say really.
How long does it usually take to start on freezing cold mornings? Does it take longer when it hasn't been used for several days? How much choke does it need usually?
@@robinprice4877 When the oil is cold it takes more power to turn around, 6v turns pretty slow. So when it is -10 it takes about 5-10 min to make it start. Often need choke until it starts and goes up in temp. In this video it was hard.
Full choke and no pumping on the pedal.
Spark plugs might have become wet caused by the prolonged starting.
- Å fan!

Complimenti per la bella macchina...un problema tipico dei 6 v...solo il kafer 6v partiva subito...bellissima Opel....

It's really good

@@thoughtlessasmr4977 wow, 15min is still quick from my point of view!
Are you pressing a starter button on the dash? Or a foot starter pedal.

The cold makes any old car start up hard. That's why u get a Die Hard battery
Love the sounds it makes at idle! And it’s a bit funny how the drivers door get jammed even tho you opened it multiple times throughout the video.😂
flooded out once you let it stall on you....
Hi, again me x) ! Are you okay if I use a part of your video for my channel? I will mention you in the description, of course!
Yes thats fine! Send a link😊
🥰👏👏👏💪🥇
Ja wachten!! je hebt hem verzopen
It sounds like heavy misfiring, maybe timing , wires or spark plug problems ? Probably that is why it is starting so slow.

6 volts system?
Ja. Der ab 1965 gebaute Rekord B, der Nachfolger dieses Modells, hat 12 Volt.
👍
Really impressive... Have you ever tried taking longer breaks, just to let battery and starter recover...?
For sure, hard crank just for the video.😊
So hot, can‘t take my eyes off…
Wished you had made a video of THAT, too :-)......@@thoughtlessasmr4977
@@thoughtlessasmr4977 Nice, you should post that as well!!
Why German cars remained 6V for so long beats me! By early 50s, British and American cars were 12 V.
Are you male or female?
good car, bad driver
Den guten is zu kalt
Klar, aber das ist doch GERADE geil, oder :-)?
@@huskyhunk31 ja
Hat doch einfach was, wenn solche alten Karren dann so gar nicht mehr wollen, trotz aller Versuche..@@DaemonWeiss
LICHT AUS
Das ist doch kein 6V, sondern ein normaler Reihenvierzylinder.👎👎👎😥😥😥😥 Viele Grüsse aus Germany
Guter Witz! 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
6V is to be read Six Volt, nothing to do with the numbers of cylinders.
uneducated to use old 6 volts vehicle......
Started on 6v?
It is a 6v system! Cranky in the cold.
So, good car
You know it's cold when the snow crunches under your feet!
