<VV> 1964 Corvair Problem

[Matt Nall]

I have a 1964 Corvair.  It is fun to drive but after sitting idle for weeks, it 
is
very hard to start.  Then it spits and sputters and back fires until warmed up.
I am convinced fuel delivery and spark timing is O.K.  (It has electric fuel 
pump
and electronic ignition).  Could it be possible that the lifters (as they lay on 
their
sides) are bleeding down and not opening the valves properly??  I am using 10W30
full-synthetic and oil pressure is O.K. 
Also, since switching to full-synthetic in my '74 Harley Shovelhead, I've 
nicknamed
her the Valdez. 
I would love to have your opinion on this and would appreciate any information 
you
can forward to me on this.  Thanks so much.  I look forward to hearing from you 
soon.

Sounds more like the Chokes are opening too fast!


For the lifters...  before stepping on the gas pedal... crank the engine until the oil light goes out... then see what happens..
