It seems we all sputter, pop and backfire as we get older. So what seems to
be the problem. :) Have you been starting it regularly during the cold
months? Sometimes it just needs to get all the juices and such flowing again
after having sat alone for the winter.

 Yesterday the first nice day that I had a chance to get out I had a hard
time starting my 73 eldo. The battery is fine and it started right up,
but until it warmed up a bit it sputtered, popped, and backfired quite a
lot running rather ragged. After that it ran fine. Any ideas what might
be the cause? I never had this problem before.
