Hot, Cranky L

Give me some input on this one: I have a '30 model Case L. When it is cold, it will fire off on the 3rd throw on the crank. If I shut the gas off, let it die, then turn the gas back on, try to restart, it will not hit a lick. Doesn't matter where the spark advance is either. If it sets for about 30 minutes, it will lite right back up on the 3rd or 4th throw. It has good fire, timed right, & I believe the carb is spot on by the way it runs. Just doesn't like to start hot. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

My 29 L starts easier cold as well.

The biggest thing with it is that it floods at the drop of a hat. Next time it is cranky to start hot, turn off the fuel, drain the bowl, pull the choke, and see if it don't kick off on a low idle.

Hi Dr. Cy,

Which carb and manifold is on your 1929 L?

When we have some guys saying it floods easily and some saying you can't flood it, it likes its gas, there may be a way to reconcile the statements. Maybe its the difference between Kingston and Zenith carbs and dual fuel and gasoline only manifolds.

I have the original manifold, although the heat box has been removed, and the Kingston L-3-L carburetor. If mine don't start by the second or third crank it ain't gonna, its flooded. I have to "dry it out" and start itn on about 1/2 a bowl of fuel, then turn the gas valve on.

I believe someone has replaced the head with a later one. It still has a dual fuel manifold, but has a zenith carb on it.

I believe mine probably has a later head on it but am not sure. It has been said in a few circles that the early L heads were bad about cracking and many were replaced. Mine has traces of Flambeau paint on it and has top end oiling as well. I've never checked the casting number.
