97 rehab
 

Can someone remind me who it is that rebuilds the Stromberg 97s?

I'm having a helluva time getting my coupe to start. It acts like it has no fuel. If I use some starting fluid I can get it going but it is still a real pain. Once it starts, it runs really strong and well. If I run it every day, it is OK. If it sits for a week or two, I can't get it started without a lot of effort. I'm thinking I may need to get these carbs checked out by someone a lot smarter than me.

Thanks,
Heard

Uncle Max!!! In addition to being a 97 expert, I believe he handles warranty work for the new 97s. As a plus , he doesn’t use Eastwood carb paint, but restores old castings using the chromate process.

install a elect fuel pump when the car sits this modern fuel evoporats. turn the pump on for a min or two it will start right up. you say it runs good let sleeping dogs lye

Charlie is the guy for 94's. Uncle Max is the guy for 97's.

Thanks guys. Just what I needed.

Richard - I already have an electric fuel pump. Makes no difference. But it does act like it is starved for gas.
