It is certainly a well tuned engine and has a very high octane race fuel. Glad you enjoyed the video. I will be posting more soon.

[@rustyshackleford1656]

You can tune a carbureted engine to start by turning the key for 1/2 a second

[@freedomisntfree_44]

Keep it clean for 1, everything I have that is carbureted starts very easy

[@Jeff-oc6tm]

If its tuned right it starts right up. My jeep has a carb with no choke and it starts faster than it did with EFI. Just pump the pedal twice so that the accelerator pump squirts fuel and it starts up. Stay on the gas for a couple second until it idles decent and then its good.

Wow! Did this ever sell? What kind of shape is/was the engine in? Did you have it rebuilt?

[@bzster]

I’ve seen some people run the starter for a few seconds before hitting the ignition. I’m guessing this is to get oil through the system in a wet sump engine?

[@copperhead94]

That’s probably correct but it seems that you wouldn’t want the engine to turn over with little oil in the system? The way I was told to do it just circulates oil without the engine turning over.

[@jayss10]

Maybe not on these cars but on your methanol fueled cars like sprints rolling the motor alittle before actually turning on the ignition is to clear the cylinder of any fuel so it doesn’t pre-ignite the cylinder.

[@copperhead94]

@@jayss10 that’s interesting. Thanks for sharing that.

[@tylerbonser7686]

The engine spins over easier with the ignition off, more important with high compression motors.

[@DuaneHallgren]

@@jayss10 no you turn the fuel on to build fuel pressure, then flip the ignition to fire. If you want to clear the cylinders of fuel you put the car in gear and "back it down" in reverse.

[@LITTLE1994]

I miss those cars. I don't know how anybody can buy these older race cars for private use.

[@copperhead94]

These race teams are always building new cars and when the older ones are no longer any use to them, they sell them.

[@MrWolfSnack]

It is very easy. Running and driving practice cars and spare cars go for a bit over $10k and anything older or in pieces will hover around $5-$6k. There is auction sites for race cars and people will also sell them in normal classic car magazines. If you have private land to drive around on or find an abandoned racetrack or rent one you can drive them as much as you want. Not sure if track day events would allow offical sanctioned stock cars to drive around with everyone else.

Is this one of the actual raced cars? And did they use to do that little air ratchet trick before the races

[@copperhead94]

It appears it was a raced car I just don’t know what races it was in. And they had to heat the oil in the engine and it looks like this is the only way they could do it.

[@CamdenWood]

An electric heater heats the motor oil before the air gun turns the oil pump gear, to circulate the heated oil (about 200°F) through the engine before it's cranked & fired. Explains the 3 prong cord coming from the socket behind the driver's seat, just inside the window.

Why not just build oil pressure with the ignition switch then start the car? Forgetting the belt or it falls off during a drive would be catastrophic for the motor. Just curious?
