Yep, sometimes carbs can be picky, the SU's on my XK120 work well with a cold start carb thermally activated, lights right off even when ice cold.
Thanks for a good comprehensive video!

Those cold start carbs work really well! I'm looking forward to trying it out on my S-type

thanks for all your hard work,

Great stuff Adam. It's always that last 10% that is the hardest. Glad I have manual chokes. Additional benefit is I can turn the engine over for 4/5 seconds to pump oil, then pull the choke out and she fires right up. Only have to do that on the first start of the day. After that just a little choke (none if warm obviously) and she fires right up. With the 123Tune+ dizzy starts are immediate now. Also, love the Jaguar sign you have sitting by the door!

Yes I do prefere manual chokes all the time. The manual choke set up on the carbed V12s is great!

Nice work Adam.

Great! I just wonder whether the hood prop rod is OEM or not?

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

You need to film the chokes moving from cold to hot over a few minutes.. I’m sure you’ll get it perfect eventually.

hi adam great videos can you tell me the where the wiper relay is located 1975 rhd 20 k miles from new recorded ?

[@LivingWithAClassic]

It to left of the glove box. Remove the under panel and the side panel and you'll see it there on the side.

[@parrotraiser6541]

If you're working on LHD cars, it's quite a walk from the carbs to the driver's seat. Would it be practical to make a small starting panel to clip onto the ignition and starter systems,so that you could start and stop the motor without having to move? (I'm full of impractical labour-saving schemes. :-)* )

[@LivingWithAClassic]

Yes but I need the exercise though 😂

[@johnpipe362]

I would like a video of how to do that.@@LivingWithAClassic

[@LivingWithAClassic]

Making a remote starter you mean?
