This has started recently, seems harder to start in the cold. I've checked for leaks in vacuum line and checked the earth connection. Has anybody had a similar issue?
Had the battery checked by RACV but they said it was fine.

Re: Engine struggles to start in NB8A
Wow that doesnt sound good. Not to state the obvious but...
Sounds like a gurgling noise/like air is escaping.
This might be a stupid question but does it start at all? Done a compression check?

yeah, it starts at the end of the video. Always manages to start so far.
