Starting up my Thunderbird once or twice trough the long winter, decided to record it, it got no choke atm, so it got to get some heat to keep it idling by herself
Yeah i'm going to change out a bunch of stuff in the near future, already the starter is not kicking out sometimes, so gotta rarely hit it with something to engage
Hello there, could I use a fragment of your video for my coldstarting compilation? Of course I will put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. What country was this recorded in? This is -8C or -8F? Those cars are gorgeous, love that rear end!! Thanks a lot for you answer in advance :)
@@WymiataczPlays after a good while of about -20° c it got to -8° c, recorded in norway, a while before new carburettor and plugs+++, i do have a more new video too with the new parts
@Robert Mackay Lyhus: I've got a question: What's the trick to starting this car? I just received this same year of T-Bird from my Uncle, and I can get the electric to kick on when I turn the switch, but it's no crank, no start otherwise. I replaced the old gas & charged the battery. Any tips for a youngster?
Checked if the starter get power? And if so, if the starter dont turn it might be the starter broke, and if the starter turns, but you just get a bad noice, it might be the "cog wheel" that the starter goes on has worn down its teeth, i had to change my "cog wheel"
@@tracywagers1399 ya gotta pump it shoot a little starting fluid in or dump some gas down the carb if it sat for a while and the carb bowl went dry. otherwise you'll just drain the battery every time cranking it cuz it won't do any good no matter how many times ya crank it dry
In this video, there was the original carburettor and starter from 1962, all worn out, and also bad coil and sparkplugs, as i have changed it all now. It fires better than a modern diesel in the same cold
The joy of old cars when you want to get somewhere in a hurry
Oh man, love that cranking sound! Nothing like an old Ford cranking when it is hard to start!
That sounds fantastic! Not to mention that starter..
Yes!!!!
I see alot of starter rebuilds in your future lol

I think I hear a bit of post ignition going on.
Sounds like an old car, but they started like that new.
It probably started quicker when it was new.
I have a 63, that starter motor disengagement sounds very familiar lol
Thats A really cold☃️Bird

Sounds like a smaller version of a Sherman tank starting up .

And, i would look on forums, get a acc maybe, and ask there, looooots of guys that have been working on these cars for years is happy to help
Robert Mackay Lyhus I love how quickly you responded. Thanks man! I’ll check.
@@CKru8789 no problem, you can message me when you want, but i think you will get just as much, or more answers on forums :)
Once you get the electrical part figured out, get a good quality carb. You get in, press down on gas pedal, wait, crank and it should light right up.
Remember, it’s -8 degrees with a carburetor❗️🔥🇺🇸
It had been under -20°c for a couple weeks, this was the 1st day over -10°c in a long time
Mine doesn't even start at 20 degrees😂😂 have to pump a shit load of gasoline till it starts
Standard Ford operation lol.
Nice cold start 😎
Need some Cosby in a can
Oh yeah
Patience...;)
Is it right hand drive?
Was that fired up without a choke in that cold weather too?
No pumping no priming it and no choke that’s cheating for cold start start it no choke no prime and no pumping
I don't know after that first long crank he was pumping it
I didn't have a choke though so it took quite a while

I got an electronic fuel pump on the frame for that. Makes a world of difference and when it starts...I turn it off

Geez.
Not bad ! Love the car
No choke on the 4100 Autolite?
Too worn out, so it was disconnected, but mounting a new edelbrock 600 carburettor now
at 2:33 is what you came here for
This is pretty much why my dad wouldn't touch Fords....
