i worked on 1 gray 103 engine 107 and it had a running problem but it was ignition, not fuel. not a lot of help there. i will say i enjoyed that car more than the heavy v8s we got to drive. much better feel. good luck, chuck.[/QUOTE]

which reminds me....most of the issues i've had in the past with cold start in 102s and 103s are in the ignition. plugs and wires may not be enough as the cap, rotor and coil pays a price when simple maintenance is ignored. only bosch or ngk plugs, bremi or karlyn wires-not bosch, bosch or bremi cap and rotor only, and bosch or bremi coil, if you need 1. sold lotsa that design coil because they were done. look for a white spot around the metal bracket that is part of the coil. that's where the spark is escaping, looking for the path of least resistance. bosch gray silicone wires are terrible. i had 4 sets i went through on 3 cars many years ago. given your problems, you might have more than just lean fuel. and lean fuel is harder to fire than rich. takes more kv from the coil to fire. get a kv tester and see what the coil can do. if it's tired AND you're lean, the existing kv may not be enough to light the fuel. good luck, chuck.
