Re: My 88 340 GLE :(

Oh also, it was Mac that rebuilt the Carb, the ad is one i wrote up for other forums also so hence being generic :) But mac did a great job rebuilding it and ever since the car ran beautifully, again many thanks Mac.

My 88 340 GLE :(

It really sucks i have to do this.. but it really doesnt make any sense to keep it due to the increased mileage and my financial situation. I've been kidding myself for too long in thinking it can work by having a second car etc etc.. So here we go, must sell this time :( Massively regrettably for s...

Re: Dans 88' GLE :)

So since the last update, about two months ago I've driven/enjoyed it thoroughly :) Put about 3/4K Miles on it and cant fault it. Been cleaning it every Saturday morning and just generally looking after it. While browsing Ebay one night i came across a set of uprated Stainless/Kevlar HT Leads for a ...

Re: Starting issues.

You might have flooded it, carb engines are difficult to start and usually need a technique to start reliably. You can try turning over on no choke and no throttle to help clear excess fuel.

Here's what usually happens, i turn the ignition, two good pumps of throttle, turn over and add choke, it usually fires up, then dies, then i do the same ...

OEM+ Looking wheels.

My 340 is currently sitting on the following: http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab100/NoFear77/WP_000071_zpse5101940.jpg They have a bit of corrosion on the edges and what-not, tempted to get them refurbed as i dont want to change the originality of the car, at all. I love the fact it's 27 years ol...

Re: Dans 88' GLE :)

Cheers for the feedback, unfortunately it's likely to be a boring thread for a while, no big plans other than enjoy it currently :) I may also try and make it to some shows this year, finances/work dependent. Drove spot on over the last week to work and back and was great fun. Gave it a clean, polis...
