no one i know can start my 5.. acc pump jets forever getting blocked and no choke means starting is a skill.. my old dear used the F word when trying to move my 5, and she never swears:D

could be loads of things, relay, pump, blocked jet being a pain, rotor arm, king lead etc etc etc.. make sure your getting fuel, spark and then pull it all apart and clean:cartman:

90% of my starting problems are always dirty carb..
