Malcom-


Thanks for the advice. The behavior of your Solex in cold weather sounds
identical to my Holley/Weber. I guess my problem yesterday was due to some
frozen moisture that got sucked into the pump; it started up fine last night
and got me around town with no problems today. I added a bottle of HEET to
the tank, though. I guess the next course of action will be to change the
fuel filters and keep an eye (ear?) on the pump! Thanks again-


JJ
