Wartburg 353W, cold start -17° 

Support Global Warming

I agree with you, the production of electric cars contributes to global warming. When such a car is on fire, it cannot be extinguished for hours. That's why I usually travel by bike :)@@MesoJevlar

@@grandpa7981 yeah, hybrids are so much better than full evs, because they are super efficient, but are still reliable, and their batteries are much much smaller, so less raping the earth there

Die elektronische Zündung war aber trotzdem nicht schlecht! 😉

It is a wonderful car and it gets much attention on car meets, and it is ofcourse parked in a garage! Thank you for this gem of a car! Regards, David

I discovered the video by chance and am very happy that you appreciate the Wartburg. If we go on vacation to Sweden in the next few years, we'll definitely come by.

You are welcome

This is the 2T motor magic. 😎

Ignition not too early (you can hear it, it's rather late), carburetor setting rich enough (you can hear this, too), started with full choke and probably turned off the day before with choke = easy winter start of Wartburg and Trabant. It's a standard feature! 😉 2-stroke engines don't need to crank cold, high viscous oil.

it is 2 stroke

@@bondjames5792 yes, I know it's 2 stroke. We had 353w in the family. :)

Yes it was a leaking ignition coil. It runs much better now after replaced!

​Ooo peefect! ❤ I'm glad it's fixed. By the way it can be heard the engine is in good condition. Could you make another video after repair? ​@@MesoJevlar

Wenn es denn ein DDR-Kenzeichen wäre, dann wäre tasächlich Bezirk Posdam richtig (in dem Falle sogar direkt Potsdam Stadt), ist es aber nicht. 😉 Wenn man mal genau hinschaut fehlt nämlich der Trennstrich zwischen den Zahlen. So ergibt es ein schwedisches Kennzeichen, und in Schweden lässt die Kombination aus Buchstaben und Zahlen keinen Rückschluss auf die Zulassungsstelle zu, da die Nummern fortlaufend vergeben werden.
