As an second generation owner of the 1965 Amazon (my father drove it for 42 years and I inherited the car I would say that the biggest issue when starting a Amazon after a while it's been standing is the fact that the carb is empty of fuel. At least Zenith Stromberg's tend to boil itself dry after a run and and also let the gasoline evaporate from the carb anyways. If you prime the carb wiih a bottle, Amazon usually starts in 3 sec.
The everlasting Volvos. One day in the future, when human race gets vanished from this planet, future civilizations will find these automobiles buried and trust me, when they ignite the keys, these swedish engines will run! :D I love Volvo(have driven a C30 for over 90,000 KM and so far, so good).
@Darude14 Well, Volvo may be owned by the chinese, but C30 comes from Belgium. 480 is a great car. And my comment on Amazon was not to say C30 is better. Volvos of the past were a way greater than the current ones - which are still amazing. ;)
@DerAdventurer C30 isn't swedish...It's chineese now. It was swedish to 1999... I am also fun of Volvo(have 480 turbo)... Don't compare C30 full of eletronic to Amazon...
