 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.

Mine starts when everything else in the garage betrays me..
