Cold start problem

Post by Birch »

Hi all!

Recently I got this 1981 e21. Engine is 1.8 carburator.

I have some cold engine idle problems. It starts just fine when its cold. But the first 10 minutes it idles uneven and i have to hold the throttle some times just to keep it going... Temperature here is about 10 degrees C.

When its wormed up it goes just fine.

I'm thinking it coud be some choke problems.

Also I found several hoes and pipes that has no hoes. See pictures below. Maybe you coud help me figure out where they have to go. Because I have no luck on finding diagrams online.

Also thoes wires do not look good on last picture. :)

Thanks!
