Hi All,

We recently added another '68 122S coupe to the family but it has 1 little problem; It refuses to start when parked on an incline/hill, with the nose of the car pointed up. It will crank but not fire. And after it's been parked like that, we have had to push start it a couple of times. I'm thinking weak fuel pump (it is the original style). Do you have any ideas?

It's a B18 with dual carbs, fresh fuel filter & runs excellent otherwise.

Thanks!
