I Have a 1986 ,340 4 Door (B14E), the problem is it want start in morning,
When I remove the Air Filter pour some petrol to carburetor it will start and I have to accelerate for 2 minitues (its bit of shaky for 2 minutes)
Once it stars I have no issue at all, I am worried because it is not cold in Morning
My throttle cable is broken, but it should start without throttle, because its not cold
also i want to what is the original carb in B14E (1986) engine?
I need some advice!

By throttle cable i take it you mean the choke or you won't be going anywhere.
I've always been under the impresion that if a choke is fitted it's there for a reason, regardless of if the temperature is hot or cold outside, if it's fitted i'd use it.
Only time i wouldn't use it is if the engine is already warm from a run then it won't be needed. I suggest replacing the choke cable and i'd guess it will start almost without problems.

Its the Weber DIR 32 carb. there were various versions through the run of B14s with different settings.
the B14.4E 340 i had used the 109 version (with Fuel cut-off which broke....)
hope that helps

Ive got THE EXACT same issue. Had a look at the cable today and it doesn't look worn out or snapped! Accelerator pedal is completely slack.

A 340 1.4 will definitely need choke to start from cold, even on relatively mild mornings. A 'proper' air filter is also a good idea as the 'sporty' ones tend to suck too much air leading to a weak mixture unless the carb has been re-jetted to suit. It may also be a good idea to check that the float level isn't too low.

I need a new throttle cable. The old one has seized. Car wouldn't start because throttle was open. Its now closed as I have disconnected the seized cable.
