Wow, that' s light! And you've got carburetors so you won't have that unwilling shudder when restarting it by clutch.
I once had a 1986 Golf Diesel and needed it to push-start that as I ran the battery down. On clutch release it just dragged its wheels over the pavement rather than turning over. Only in third gear dit it finaly turn over, with the mother of all unwilling shudders.
I did a lot of traffic jam creeping in that car, to the extent that my left leg became stronger than the right. And sometimes killed the engine by running top gear (4) too low. Always needed a key restart even when still at some speed.
Clutch starting a diesel is a challenge, at least it was on mine.
If you have the right car for it, coasting with engine off and restarting it by clutch release is a good way to save gas. Keep it up!
Cheers, Bart
