Slow start

Post by T.Hanson »

Starts, runs fine. Shut it off after warm,...

Long turn over. Flups, blutters, starts, clears out, runs fine.

Shut it off, same long turn over routine. Not into doing that longer than five, seven seconds as it should take two.

Fuel gauge is spastic but not out of gas. No fuel pump noise, new lines, filter.

I'm going on the Malibu run tomorrow. Hope to have as much fun as last year.
Do you want another long post about this year's run?

I'm sure you guys have replaced your battery cables or at least spruced up the connections at both ends. I had a slow start when warm condition, and it turned out to be a corroded hot wire to the starter. wire brushed all connections and cable ends, and now she spins fast.
