Good day, my native is Dutch so forgive me if I say or type something in a strange way.
I have an Opel GT from 1972.
When I first got it, it started great. Only a lot of rust and dent's.
Now 1,5 years later I fixed all. BUT.....
Sometimes, strange enough not all the time, the GT will not start. When the battery is almost emty it starts.
I can drive for hours and no strange things happen. The engine runs great.
If I pull the car over and start it after 1 hour, 5 hours or a day, no problem. It runs almost immediatly.
But not riding in the GT for a week the problem is back.
I can not find the problem. I already changed the spark plugs and cables. Also cleaned the carburettor and checked if there was fuel.
Also checked the contacts and if there was a spark.
With some help from a friend I set the distributor ( Don't now if I say this right in English. In Dutch it's: verdelerkap ) on time.
Still the GT have some starting problems.
Can someone help me pushing my thougts in the right direction, I really don't don't now where to look anymore.
Thanks alot!
