Hi, new to the list but not to 914s. My problem is that whenever i try to restart the engine after a short stop, lets say a fuel fill-up, it just doesnt. It cranks, but does not fire. After a while, 5-10 minutes, it does. No problem on cold start, it fires right away. I suspect bad coil, misbehaves when hot. But once started, it runs fine. any clue? My set up: Blue coil, Permatune, Pressure regulator, webers on a 2.2E engine with S-cams. Thanks to all.

QUOTE(si2t3m @ Aug 26 2003, 05:16 AM) Ok so we ruled out the carbs and gas issues... we did ? don't think i saw that . could easily be fuel percolation. (of course i'd pitch the Permatune just on basic principles...) make sure the insulating blocks are in place - i can never recall if they're between the heads and manifold, or manifold and carb base, but they need to be there, with gaskets in good shape. the anti-percolation fuel bowl vent mod described in Anderson's book using the PMO drill fixture is also an excellent idea... |
